Bulldog forceps

It has serrated jaws and a spring action so that it will grip and hold sutures, tissues or vessels.

The spring may be weak or the jaws sheathed in a soft material so that the item being gripped is not crushed too severely.

Forceps of this general type were designed by particular surgeons including Johann Dieffenbach and Robert Liston.
