Forrowing Forceps are precision surgical forceps designed for handling delicate tissues during ophthalmic, micro-surgical, and veterinary procedures. These forceps feature fine, tapered tips that ensure controlled gripping, minimal trauma, and excellent visibility of the working area. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they are durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for repeated sterilisation.
