Laparoscopic forceps can be divided into three categories: grasping forceps, dissecting forceps, and biopsy forceps. Just as in open surgery, the type of forceps selected will depend on its intended use. The jaws of laparoscopic forceps can be crushing or noncrushing, straight or curved, and long or short. Some forceps are designed as either graspers or dissectors; others may be used simultaneously for both functions. In addition, graspers can be used as tissue retractors.

Grasping forceps are used to grasp tissue for stabilization, relocation, or hemostasis. Noncrushing forceps most commonly used in small animal laparoscopy and thoracoscopy are Babcock and Duval forceps (ssss1). The jaws of endoscopic Babcock forceps are identical to their open surgical counterparts. They are most commonly used to grasp and manipulate the pyloric antrum during laparoscopic‐assisted gastropexy. Duval forceps are similar to Babcock forceps except that the jaws are slightly longer and offer a more aggressive grasp. For both Babcock and Duval forceps, a double‐action mechanism allows for a wider grasp to include more tissue and better prevent slipping.
