New Adson Forceps with Tungsten Grips and Gripless Tip is Next Level

I just bought these because I needed a pair with the tungsten carbide grip material at the tip. Then realized wait- this grip doesn’t go to the full tip of the forceps. Not sure if this is the reason - but when you grab the tip of the suture needle, the grip isn’t damaging it.

Curious if they were made like that on purpose because I’ve never seen these in an OR.

but def would prefer to have these every case.

Having the Bot Analyze My Stitches

I Uploaded the Ethicon Suture Guide into a project and fed it photos of my stitches. Worked on what it said to. Did the stitch again. Got more feedback. Interesting way to train yourself
