Abstract

A sizing forceps is provided for fixing a nerve in place, measuring the diameter of the nerve, and providing an efficient way to resect the nerve. A sizing forceps can have an upper and lower jaw with one or more aligned notches that form apertures for holding a nerve. The apertures can have predetermined sizes that can be used to measure the diameter of a nerve. A slicing slot in the upper and lower jaw allows a nerve within an aperture to be severed to obtain a non-frayed end.
