Bonney's Round Ligament Forceps
Bonney's Round Ligament Forceps (pronunciation: /ˈbɒniːz raʊnd ˈlɪɡəmənt ˈfɔːrseps/) is a type of surgical instrument used in gynecological surgery. The forceps are named after the British gynecologist, Sir Ernest Bonney, who first introduced them.
Etymology
The term "Bonney's Round Ligament Forceps" is derived from the name of its inventor, Sir Ernest Bonney, and the specific surgical application for which it was designed. The term "forceps" is derived from the Latin word "forcipis", meaning a pair of tongs or pincers.
Description
Bonney's Round Ligament Forceps are designed with a unique curvature and a rounded tip, which allows for the safe and effective manipulation and clamping of the round ligament during gynecological procedures. The forceps are typically made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure durability and longevity.
Usage
These forceps are primarily used in gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy and oophorectomy, where they aid in the manipulation, clamping, and cutting of the round ligament. The unique design of Bonney's Round Ligament Forceps allows for precise control and minimizes the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues.
