Demonstration Forceps

notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This simple demonstration forceps was designed by Dr. In Bae Yoon to explain how the forceps of his Falope Ring® applicator would grab onto the Fallopian tube during a tubal ligation procedure. Like the early manufactured forceps, the demonstration model has sharp teeth which could potentially cut into the fallopian tubes. Over the years the forceps teeth were modified becoming rounder and less likely to injure internal organs.
