Rochester Carmalt Hemostatic Fcps cvd 16cm

Clinical Application

Rochester‑Carmalt hemostatic forceps are used to achieve hemostasis on large tissue bundles and vascular pedicles where broad, longitudinal compression is required. This curved 16 cm configuration is commonly employed in open abdominal and gynecologic procedures to secure uterine and ovarian pedicles, control bleeding during laparotomy, and provide temporary vascular control during dissection of large soft‑tissue structures. The instrument's jaw geometry helps reduce tissue slippage when clamping longitudinal tissue bundles or thick pedicles.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides improved access and visualization in deeper operative fields and around anatomic curves, enabling the surgeon to approach pedicles and tissue bundles at an optimal angle without excessive retraction. The Rochester‑Carmalt jaw design features longitudinal serrations along the length of the jaw with cross serrations at the tip, which distribute compressive force along the tissue and increase holding security. A precision box‑lock and ratchet allow consistent, sustained closure pressure for reliable hemostasis during ligation and transection.
