| Title | Margill Forceps |
| Date | 1925-1975 |
| Description | This item is a forceps of Margill’s type. It features an angled shape, finger rings, and a screw-joint, just like Luc’s nasal forceps. However, it is smaller than Luc’s and differs in its use as well, as it is used to guide tracheal tubes into the larynx. Additionally, it can be used to remove foreign bodies. The markings are “Stainless” on the outer jaw, and number 4 on the inner, with “Theatre” manually inscribed additionally. |
