Mais les meilleurs tire-balles sont les pinces tire-balles dont est pourvu l'arsenal chirurgical de notre armée : elles sont construites comme les pinces à anneaux de nos trousses, qui peuvent rendre les mêmes services, et se composent de deux tiges articulées par un clou [...]. Les mors de ces pinces, oblongs, légèrement concaves, percés à jour et creusés de rainures profondes, sont supportés par des tiges disposées de telle sorte qu'elles diminuent de volume lorsque les mors sont médiocrement écartés l'un de l'autre. [...] on introduit la pince tire-balle fermée le long de la face palmaire du doigt jusque sur le corps à extraire : on ouvre alors lentement la pince en la poussant légèrement de manière à faire glisser ses mors plus profondément sur la surface du projectile. 2, record 1, French, - pince%20tire%2Dballe
