Self-locking forceps for gripping and transporting small objects and usable in particular in dental surgery, said forceps comprising two branches (1, 2) that intersect freely and have a proximal manoeuvring part (1A, 2A) and a distal gripping part (1B, 2B), the proximal parts (1A, 2A) being joined elastically at one of their ends, while the distal parts (1B, 2B) end in jaws (4, 5), such that the closing together of the proximal parts or grips (1A, 2A) causes the distal parts (1B, 2B) to spread apart, while release of the pressure exerted on said proximal parts (1A, 2A) is translated into an automatic closing together of the distal parts (1B, 2B) and therefore of the jaws (4, 5) in a clamping position; at least one of said jaws is provided with a cushion of flexible material (6); said self-locking forceps being provided with a means (13) for limiting the clamping force generated by the return force of the spring formed by the proximal parts (1A, 2A) of the forceps. |
