Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic clamping and secure occlusion of small to medium blood vessels, this curved Kilner artery forceps is used to obtain hemostasis during a wide range of open procedures including general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive, and peripheral vascular work. The 14 cm length provides a balance of reach and control for working in superficial and moderately deep operative fields, and is suitable for vessel ligation, placement of clips, and temporary occlusion during dissection.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft allows approach to vessels and tissue planes at an angle that improves visibility and access in confined or angled operative sites. Serrated jaws provide a dependable grip on vessel walls and soft tissue without slipping, while the ratchet lock secures the clamp in position to maintain hemostasis hands-free. Ring handles give direct tactile feedback for controlled closure force, helping reduce tissue crush while maintaining effective occlusion.
