Babcock forceps are surgical instruments designed with rounded, atraumatic tips, making them ideal for gently grasping delicate tissues without causing damage. Unlike Allis forceps, they do not have teeth, which allows for a more secure and non-traumatic hold. Babcock forceps are commonly used to handle soft tissues like the intestines, fallopian tubes, or bladder during surgeries. Their design provides controlled manipulation while minimizing tissue injury, making them essential in procedures where tissue preservation is critical.
