Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure temporary occlusion of small-to-medium vessels and soft tissue, this straight hemostatic forceps is used to control bleeding during dissection, vessel ligation, and wound exposure. Its 20 cm length gives added reach for deeper cavities and operative fields where a longer instrument improves access without sacrificing tactile control. Common applications include general surgery, vascular procedures, gynecologic surgery, ENT, and procedures requiring sustained atraumatic clamping while preparing definitive hemostasis (suture, ligature, or cautery).
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry aligns the jaws with the instrument shaft for direct, predictable occlusion and allows the operator to apply axial force with minimal wrist deviation—useful when working along vessels in narrow or deep fields. A ratcheted locking handle provides hands-free maintenance of compression, while transverse serrations on the jaws secure tissue and reduce slippage. The 20 cm overall length balances reach and control, permitting both superficial and deeper placement while maintaining tactile feedback.
