A pair of forceps (1) comprises a pair of arms (3,5) connected to one another at their proximal ends (6,7). The distal ends (9,10) of he arms may be manipulated towards one another for gripping syringes and needles in use. The distal ends (9,10) of each of the arms define respective opposed gripping areas (11,13). Each gripping area (11,13) is provided with two different gripping profiles. The first gripping profiles (39,43) are adapted for gripping syringes, while a second gripping profile (41,45) at the distal tip of each arm is configured to snugly fit around a needle to enable gripping of needles. Each arm has an operating portion intended to be gripped manually by a user to operate the forceps in use. A guard (23,25) extends outwardly from the outer surface of each arm (3,5) to prevent a user's finger sliding down from the operating regions (21,22) towards the distal ends (9,10) of the arm. |
