Forcipes, also known as forceps, is a tool commonly used in medical procedures, such as surgery and childbirth, to grip and manipulate tissue or objects. However, there are other words that can be used as synonyms for this tool, depending on its specific use. For instance, in dentistry, forcipes can also be referred to as dental pliers. In entomology and zoology, you may hear the term tarsal claw or tarsi used instead. Other related terms include pincers, tweezers, and clamps. Regardless of the specific term used, these tools are all designed to grasp, hold, and maneuver objects with precision and accuracy.
