Bulldog Forceps
Bulldog Forceps (pronunciation: bull-dog for-seps) are a type of surgical instrument used in various medical procedures.
Etymology
The term "Bulldog Forceps" is derived from the English language. The name is attributed to the forceps' resemblance to the strong, gripping jaws of a bulldog.
Description
Bulldog Forceps are small, spring-loaded forceps that are used to temporarily occlude a blood vessel to prevent bleeding during surgical procedures. They are typically made of stainless steel and come in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate different surgical needs. Some Bulldog Forceps have serrated tips for a more secure grip.
Usage
Bulldog Forceps are commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, and other types of surgery where control of blood flow is critical. They are used to clamp off blood vessels while causing minimal damage to the vessel itself.
