    Abstract: Forceps to facilitate the removal of foreign bodies from the skin or flesh. A rigid locator, having a circular or oval shape, is mounted to one of the jaws of the forceps by way of a rigid connector such that the opening in the rigid locator is directly in line with the opening formed by the jaws of the forceps. The opening of the rigid locator is placed around the tip of the foreign body in the flesh and pressure exerted such that the rigid locator pushes the flesh away from the top of the foreign body, permitting the jaws of the forceps to close on the exposed tip of the foreign body and remove it.
