Laparoscopic monopolar forceps with a ratchet are used for grasping and dissection in laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Monopolar forceps can be activated and deactivated with a foot switch. They allow surgeons to cut tissues and coagulate bleeding while holding the injured blood vessel. 

The ratchet is a locking mechanism that keeps the jaws in a closed position. This allows for hands-free clamping and constant pressure on clamped blood vessels. 

Laparoscopic graspers are maneuvered through incisions that are usually no larger than 5 mm. This allows the surgeon to grasp and manipulate abdomen tissue with precision without having to cut open the abdomen. 

Surgeons use forceps to hold skin, organs, muscles, tissue, and bone. This technique is used for diagnosis or surgical intervention in the abdominal cavity, pelvis, and in some joints.
