Which artery forceps have a toothed tip?

Explanation:
Toothed tips provide a secure grip on tough or fibrous tissue, preventing slipping when clamping vessels or surrounding tissue. Kocher forceps have prominent teeth at the tip, giving a firm, non-slip hold on such tissue. The other options are designed for different purposes: Doyen forceps are smooth and atraumatic for intestines, Crile forceps have serrations along the jaws but not a distinct toothed tip, and Adson forceps are delicate tissue forceps with small teeth for fine manipulation, not for arterial clamping. So the toothed-tip design is a hallmark of Kocher forceps.
