A standard general surgical<unk> , with a ratchet handle lock. Two specialty<unk> s, Mathieu<unk>  (above) and Castroviejo<unk>  (below). A<unk> , also called<unk>  driver or<unk>  forceps, is a surgical instrument similar to a hemostat, used by doctors and surgeons to hold and push a suturing<unk>  when performing wound closure, ligation and other surgical procedures that require re-anastomosis. Being specialized forceps, the components of a typical<unk>  are the jaws (often reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts), the hinged joint and the handles (typically with finger rings at the end). Most<unk> s also have a ratchet mechanism that locks the handles together and clamps the<unk>  firmly between the jaws, allowing the user to maneuver the<unk>  through various tissues without having to keep squeezing the grip. To maintain a firm grip on the<unk> , the jaws are often textured and short compared to the handles (increasing the mechanical advantage using the principle of a lever). Most<unk> s are designed to be gripped with the fingers and palm like scissors. However, some are designed for a tweezers-like grip to allow finer, more precise movements around delicate structures or narrow spaces. An example of such is the Castroviejo<unk>  (named after Spanish American eye surgeon Ramón Castroviejo), which is commonly used in eye surgery, microsurgery and dental surgery.
