UMD: Laparoscopic forceps designed to grasp a pledget swab at the distal end, obtain cytological samples or perform blunt dissection during gynecologic or other (e.g. cholecystectomy) procedures. These forceps are typically handheld instruments with scissor-like handles that may include a ratchet mechanism; a long slender shaft; and strong jaws at the working tip with inward facing tongs at the end of the jaws for security. Swab laparoscopic forceps are intended to perform forward and backward wiping movements with the pledget swab for blunt dissection or to obtain cytologic samples in gynecologic procedures.
