Clinical Application
Curved serrated hemostatic forceps of the Bengolea pattern are intended for secure clamping of small- to medium-caliber vessels and for atraumatic grasping of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. Their geometry is suited to routine hemostasis, temporary occlusion during dissection, control of bleeding in confined or deep operative fields, and as an adjunct when placing ligatures or passing suture.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft directs the tips around tissue planes and into deep or narrow operative sites while keeping the surgeon's hands clear of the line of sight. Serrated jaws provide consistent grip on vessels and soft tissue to prevent slippage under tension. A box lock with a ratchet-style locking mechanism permits hands-free maintenance of compression for sustained hemostasis and precise clamping pressure during ligation or tying.
