Tendon forceps

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed for interlacing, seizing, passing, holding, or approximating a tendon during surgery. It typically has a scissors-like, self-retaining design with ring handles and is made of high-grade stainless steel. It is available in various sizes and shapes and the working end will typically have grasping blades that are shaped in a variety of designs, e.g., fenestrated, flat, curved; those with flat blades are serrated or may have interlocking pins or V-notch at the tip to provide extra grip on the tendon. This is a reusable device.
