There are few instruments in the surgical tray that require adroit precision and coordination of both hands of the surgeon and the assistants. The forceps are ubiquitously used in all clinical areas by all levels of staff. Do we understand how to hold the forceps correctly to minimise the forces that are applied to the tissues? When focusing on the dominant hand, are you aware of what the forceps are doing in the non-dominant hand? BBASS explains the function of the forceps and how to 'home' your surgical skills.
