ABSTRACT:
A disposable forceps of a single piece of molded, resilient material is provided for surgical use. The forceps include a pair of arms substantially parallel to each other, integrally joined together at one end, and with the arms biased to an open position. At the other end of the arms are jaw members having teeth which precisely match and align together when the arms are urged to a closed position. Intermediate the ends of each arm is an integral alignment and spacing means projecting from the inner wall which interface and engage each other to allow movement of the arms in only one planar direction laterally to the open and closed positions and to limit the distance between the arms when the arms are biased to an open position, thereby ensuring proper alignment and matching of the jaw teeth.
