Clinical Application
Curved Kelly hemostatic forceps are used for atraumatic clamping and temporary occlusion of small-to-medium sized blood vessels and for grasping tissues during open surgical procedures. The 19 cm length provides reach into deeper cavities while retaining tactile control at the tips, making this instrument suitable for general surgery, gynecology, vascular access, trauma, and procedural trays in ambulatory surgery centers.
Design & Configuration
The curved jaw orientation directs the tips away from the operator’s hands and improves line-of-sight along the working surface, which is helpful when working around confined or angled anatomy. Kelly-style partial serrations on the jaws deliver secure grip on vessels and soft tissue without excessive crushing over the entire jaw length. A standard box-lock with ratchet allows step-wise locking for sustained hemostasis and controlled tissue hold during suturing or dissection.
