The present invention provides laparoscopic forceps which can grasp surgical and/or laparoscopic implements and automatically orient the surgical and/or laparoscopic implements to a predetermined orientation. The forceps are fashioned specifically for grasping the laparoscopic implement, and include grasping mechanisms located at one end of the shaft. The grasping mechanisms include orienting mechanisms effective to orient the implement in a predetermined orientation with respect to the forceps. In favorable embodiments, the grasping mechanism is effective to orient the implement automatically in the predetermined orientation, and consists of two jaws, each jaw including a flat surface and a recessed seat for receiving a portion of the implement defined on the flat surface of at least one of the jaws.
