Abstract
The surgical forceps are comprised of three forceps arms pivotally attached to each other. The forceps may also contain distal grasping tips which are controlled by the proximal handles. The grasping tips create two or more grasping compartments which may be used to separately grasp lengths of suture. The controlling handles of each of the forceps arms may be individually controlled and may be secured together by a clasping mechanism. The surgical forceps may also be embodied by two central arms and one or more lateral arms which may contain distal grasping tips which are controlled by the proximal handles or controlling levers. The grasping tips of the arms may create two or more grasping compartments which may be used together or separately.
