The forceps comprise: a forward handle (2, 102) and a rear handle (3); at least one movable jaw (5) proximate to, or at, a front of the forceps, said jaw being coupled to the rear handle such that movement of the rear handle causes movement of the at least one jaw between a first operating position and a second operating position; the forward handle comprising a forward-facing digit contact surface (11) and a rearward-facing digit contact surface (12). A kit for forming forceps is also provided, as is a method of making forceps.
