title: [Cutting forceps. Classification (and II)].
abstract: The most common and also the simplest guideline to gain an efficient awareness about existing surgical instruments consists of, once you know their physical characteristics, establishing a relationship between every instrument and every organ or tissue, or otherwise to associate each instrument to a determined operating specialty, having a specified technique, etc. Through this method, a professional will act correctly in the majority of situations since each surgical specialty tends to opt for one unique model of cutting forceps in each instrument system both to reduce costs as to reduce the number of instruments.
