BBASS describes the principles and practice of the use of the forceps. We discuss different types of forceps and their uses. Forceps handling needs to be pliant, purposeful, and precise. The forceps can be used for pointing, probing and propping. They need to work in both hands and the function is interdependent on the other hand. BBASS offers a range of models to enable you to 'home' your surgical skills.
