Clinical Application
Curved 1x2-tooth hemostatic forceps designed to provide secure purchase on small-to-medium vessels and soft tissue with minimal slippage. Commonly used for vessel control, tissue tagging, blunt and sharp dissection adjuncts, and preparation for ligation or cautery in general, vascular, gynecologic, and minor surgical procedures. The curved profile facilitates access around structures and into confined operative sites while keeping the surgeon's hand clear of the field.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft gives an angled approach to vessels and tissue planes, improving line-of-sight and reach in deep or narrow cavities. A 1x2 tooth tip provides asymmetric interlocking teeth that stabilize tissue with reduced shear compared with plain serrations, helping to minimize slippage without excessive crush. A ratchet-locking handle allows sustained clamping pressure for hemostasis or when passing vessels for ligation, and a box-lock joint delivers consistent jaw alignment and durability through repeated use.
