Forceps with two pin-connected branches are provided with gripping noses on one end for manipulating surgical implants. The branches are spring biased apart but include a cap at the end remote from the gripping nose which is adapted to tilt and releasably retain the ends of the branches together beneath the cap. One of the branches is fixed within the cap while the other is insertable beneath the cap and has rounded edges to facilitate its insertion and removal. The tilting motion of the cap allows for temporary access of the inserted branch when it is desired to lock the branches together during manipulation of a gripped implant or the like.
