The Collin forceps is applied where tissue has to be held firmly without being crushed, most typically loops of bowel that the surgeon needs to lift, turn or keep in position. The triangular openings in the jaws let a fold of tissue sit inside the grip, the ridges add traction, and the lockable soft ratchet keeps the hold steady so the hands are free for the next step.
At 16 cm it suits open abdominal work at moderate depth, and nursing and surgical training programmes use it to teach how tissue-holding forceps differ from haemostats. Medical colleges ordering from a laboratory instruments supplier in India often add it to instrument-identification sets. After use, clean the ratchet and the ridged jaws carefully and reprocess the forceps according to your facility's protocol.
