The bifurcated forceps includes two pairs of forceps arms resiliently joined at a pivot end of the arms, one arm in each pair being linked to a corresponding arm in the other pair so that the first pair of corresponding arms can be rotated to a spaced radial position from the second pair of corresponding arms, enabling the corresponding forceps arms to grasp a common object at spaced apart positions. The bifurcated forceps may be used for tissue stabilization, and in non-medical applications.
