Fixation Forceps are delicate, tweezer-style surgical instruments used to stabilise and hold small tissues during ophthalmic, microsurgical, and general procedures. Designed with fine pointed tips or teeth for precise gripping, these forceps provide excellent non-slip control with minimal tissue trauma. They are commonly used in both human and veterinary surgeries that require accurate and steady tissue handling.
