Clinical Application
Used to achieve temporary hemostasis and to grasp or hold small vessels and soft tissue during dissection and exposure. The curved Crile hemostat is commonly employed in general surgery, minor procedures, and specialty pockets of care where precise vessel control or traction is required without the bulk of larger clamps.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry directs the working tip into deeper or confined operative fields while keeping the shaft and handles clear of the line of sight. The ratcheted locking shank secures a consistent clamping pressure so the instrument can be left in place to maintain hemostasis or provide sustained traction. The 1x2T tip concentrates contact at the tooth points to provide a secure grip on delicate tissue or small-caliber vessels when temporary approximation or manipulation is needed.
