Record 4 2008-07-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
OBS

Anesthesia forceps are a vital tool in most operating rooms because of their unique design and applications.... Designed with a pair of scissor-like arms that are pivotally connected together, anesthesia forceps have a long and narrow working surface, which helps guide surgeons through the anesthesia procedure, while maintaining good visual contact with the patient’s internal structure. Some types of anesthesia forceps are designed with an alternative embodiment that provides a fourth bend near the guiding end of the forceps, which allows for easier insertion of a catheter in some patients, such as children.

OBS

Among the various types of forceps for general use are anesthesia forceps, dressing forceps, eye and ear forceps, uterine forceps and bone-holding forceps.

CONT

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.
