Dissecting forceps with pointed tips are used in clinical and laboratory settings for grasping and holding tissue, clamping blood vessels, and other tasks. The tips can be sharp and act like pincers to cut fine tissues, mucous membranes, blood vessels, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. Dissecting forceps come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and jaw types, and can be made from materials like steel or nylon. They can also have either ring or tweezer-style handles, and may be serrated or have teeth.
