The jaws of these forceps are narrow, because it is easierto press outward a narrow portion of the swollen mucosa than a wideone. Of course the jaws must not be so narrow as to cut, and in usingthe forceps it is necessary to use great care to prevent damage. .\11 useof such instriiments must be under the guidance of the eye. .othervery effectual way (big. 18:)) is to repress the swollen mucosa at onepoint with liu- lip of the bronchoscope so that a hook may be jiassed 288 MECHANICAL OF FOREIGN BODY
