Yes, the working edges are vertically serrated. This design creates a textured surface that allows for a firm, controlled grasp on tissues without the need for a locking mechanism.

Are these forceps safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, they are completely latex-free. They are not manufactured with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for veterinary practices concerned about sensitivities.
