ABSTRACT:
Surgical forceps for use and association with a catheter for gaining access to a body cavity so as to release fluid therefrom. The forceps include handle means which preferably are finger loops attached to a pair of elongate members pivotally attached to each other at a common intersection point. There also is provided a pair of opposed gripping or cutting jaws which substantially are located at adjacent ends of the pair of elongate members which are each remote from the finger loops. There is also provided at least a partially tubular retaining passage to facilitate the insertion therefrom and retention therein of a catheter or catheter support. Preferably the retaining passage comprises opposed projections on each elongate member adjacent a respective gripping jaw which are channel like in shape so that when the forceps are in at least a partially closed position the retaining passage is formed.
