AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
During surgery arterial bleeding is controlled by Rat tooth forceps.These forceps are used to hold (grip) skin/dense tissue. They have interdigitating teeth to hold tissue without slipping.
They do cause a degree of tissue damage so should not be used on delicate tissue and care should be taken when operating on animals with thin delicate skin.
