Hovnatanian tongs

Hovnatanian forceps (also known as Hovnatanian forceps) are an instrument that is used to grasp and hold objects during surgical procedures. It was invented in 1972 by Armenian surgeon Armen Hovnatanian (1930-2009), who named it after himself.

Hovnatanyan tongs consist of two parts: a handle and a working part. The working part has a shape that allows it to grab and hold objects. The handle provides comfortable grip and control over the tool.

One of the main advantages of Hovnatanyan forceps is their accuracy and safety. They allow the surgeon to grasp and hold an object with high precision, which is important for performing surgeries on small or fragile organs. In addition, they provide a secure grip and hold, allowing the surgeon to work with the object without the risk of loss or damage.

Another important feature of the Hovnatanian forceps is that they can be used to perform a variety of surgical procedures. They can be used to grasp, hold and move organs, tissues and vessels during operations. This allows the surgeon to perform more precise and effective operations, which in turn increases the chances of treatment success and reduces the risk of complications.

However, like any other tool, Hovnatanian forceps have their limitations. They cannot be used for grasping and holding objects that are too large or too small, or for operations that require high gripping force. Additionally, using Hovnatananian forceps requires a certain level of skill and experience, so they are not suitable for novice surgeons.

Overall, the Hovnatanian forceps are an important tool for surgical procedures that provide precision and safety, as well as flexibility in use. They are one of the most effective tools used in modern surgery and continue to develop and improve over time.
