A 4" Babcock forceps is used to gently grasp and manipulate delicate tissues in various surgical procedures without causing trauma. Key uses include holding intestines, fallopian tubes, and ureters in general, intestinal, gynecological, and urological surgeries.

Key features that make it ideal for delicate tissue

Smooth, fenestrated jaws:

The triangular, open-center jaws have rounded ends and a smooth surface to prevent crushing or tearing of soft tissue.

Atraumatic grip:

The design allows for a secure hold on delicate structures while minimizing tissue trauma.

Ratcheted locking mechanism:

This provides a secure, non-slip grip on the tissue once applied.
