Clinical Application
Curved hemostatic forceps in the Bengolea pattern are intended to achieve secure temporary or definitive control of bleeding by clamping vessels and small tissue bundles. The 26 cm length makes this instrument appropriate for deeper open procedures or when additional working length is required, including general surgery, vascular exposure, gynecologic procedures and many soft-tissue dissections. Serrated jaws provide atraumatic yet secure purchase for suture ligation and vessel occlusion prior to coagulation or ligature.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft directs the jaw tips into the operative field while keeping the operator’s hands clear, improving visibility and access in confined or deep cavities. Ring handles with a ratchet lock permit progressive closure and hands-off maintenance of clamping pressure, allowing assistants to manage exposure or suturing while hemostasis is maintained. Serrations along the jaw provide a firm grip on vessels and tissue without dependence on teeth patterns, stabilizing ligatures and clamps during manipulation.
