Clinical Application
A curved Leriche hemostatic forceps with a 1x2 tooth tip is used to obtain and maintain reliable hemostasis during open surgical procedures. The 1x2 tooth configuration provides a firm, interlocking grip on tissue or vessels where slippage must be minimized—useful during vessel ligation, suture control, clamp-and-tie techniques, and when handling dense connective tissue. The curved profile assists with access and visualization in deeper or confined surgical fields.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry redirects the working angle of the jaws, permitting a more ergonomic approach to vessels and tissue planes while keeping hands clear of the line of sight. The 1x2 tooth pattern combines a single tooth opposing two teeth to secure tissue with reduced crush compared with broad serrations, improving hold on small vessels or soft tissue without excessive trauma. A ratcheted locking mechanism allows the surgeon to maintain consistent pressure without sustained manual force, freeing an assistant or facilitating controlled ligation steps.
