Forcep these are ratcheted instruments used to hold tissue or objects, or provide hemostasis.The doctor uses them to guide the baby's head out of the birth canal. The mother will push the baby the rest of the way out.They may also be used to pack or extract sponges, pass ligatures, and stabilize and manipulate needles during suturing.Forceps toothed at the tip used for handling dense tissue, such as in skin closures.
