Inspecting Forceps
(1) Inspect the operation of the forceps.
Visually check the forceps for breakage or significant
bends, and for sharp edges on protrusions that may injure
the patient.
(2) Form the spring of the forceps into a double ring
approximately 200 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure.
(3) Operate the handle of the forceps and check that their tips
open and close.
Do not bend forceps with a curvature radius of 10 mm or less.
Bending forceps with a small curvature may break it.
