Clinical Application
Curved Kelly hemostatic forceps are used to occlude medium-sized blood vessels and control focal bleeding during open surgical procedures. Their curved profile facilitates approach around anatomical structures—such as vessels, pedicles, or tissue planes—allowing secure clamping in confined or deep surgical fields. Common applications include ligation and hemostasis in general surgery, gynecology, trauma, and minor procedures where precise vessel control and blunt dissection are required.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry directs the tips toward the operative field while keeping the operator’s hand and shaft out of the line of sight. The Kelly pattern features transverse serrations on the distal half of the jaws to provide firm grip on vessels and tissue without excessive crushing of adjacent structures. A box-lock hinge and multi-tooth ratchet provide positive, repeatable locking at graduated tensions, enabling sustained occlusion during suturing or ligation.
