A surgical forceps is provided having the ability, in addition to the normal grasping function, to simultaneously aspirate a liquid from a surgical site. An inner tubular member has a plurality of prongs and is slidably disposed within a tubular body. The inner tubular member is spring loaded so as to hold the prongs in a normally retracted position substantially within the body. A center channel extends throughout the instrument enabling liquids to be aspirated. The prongs diverge as they are extended by forward movement of the inner tubular member and converge upon retraction.
