Clinical Application
Straight Kelly-Rankin hemostatic forceps in 16 cm length are intended for occlusion of small- to medium-sized blood vessels and for atraumatic grasping of soft tissue during open and minor surgical procedures. They are commonly used in general surgery, emergency/trauma settings, gynecology, ENT and plastic procedures for temporary vessel control, blunt dissection assistance, and as an aid during suture ligation.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides direct alignment of the jaws for controlled access in superficial wounds and confined operative fields. The Kelly-Rankin pattern features transverse serrations that extend partway along the jaw to secure vessels and tissue while limiting crushing beyond the grip zone. A precision box-lock with ratchet permits incremental locking pressure and reliable retention of the clamp once engaged, allowing hands-free maintenance of hemostasis during suturing or exposure.
