Forceps are the most ubiquitous instrument and found on almost every surgical tray. They are used by the surgeon and assistants. Competency needs to be achieved with both hands. The forceps are an extension of the fingers enabling the operator to reach into the body. Accuracy and fidelity are important. BBASS explains the 'feel' of the forceps and offers novel low fidelity tools that will enable you to 'home' yout surgical skills.
