  <dc:title>Artery Forceps</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This is an artery forceps, made of stainless steel by Fannin, as engraved. It is composed of two shafts with two finger rings on one end blunt curved tips on the other. Towards the finger rings there is a ratcheted mechanism to secure lock. Each tip is curved and features a horizontal pattern which helps grasping the tissue. The shafts are box joint.
This type of forceps is still used in various surgeries, where there is necessity to grasp, hold, and block the blood flow of arteries.</dc:description>
