Clinical Application
Designed to provide reliable hemostasis and secure soft-tissue handling, this Hosemann-pattern artery forceps is used to clamp and occlude medium-sized arteries and veins and to grasp tissue during ligation, suturing and tissue retraction. The 1x2 tooth tip gives a positive grip on vessel adventitia or soft tissue edges, helping to prevent slippage during knot placement and while applying clips or ties. Common clinical settings include general surgery, vascular procedures, gynecology, ENT and minor‑procedure suites.
Design & Configuration
The asymmetric 1x2 tooth arrangement (one tooth opposing two) concentrates holding force at the bite point to reduce slippage while minimizing crush area beyond the teeth. The 21 cm overall length provides reach into moderately deep operative fields without sacrificing tactile control at the handles. A standard box-lock hinge and ratchet locking mechanism permit secure sustained clamping at graduated tensions, enabling hands-free hemostasis during vessel ligation and suture tying.
