Clinical Application
Designed to provide reliable hemostasis, this straight Leriche hemostatic forceps is used to grasp, compress, and temporarily occlude vessels and small tissue bundles during surgery. Its 15 cm length makes it suitable for routine open procedures where controlled clamping of small- to medium-sized arteries, veins, and tissue pedicles is required—common in general, vascular, gynecologic, ENT, and plastic surgeries. The instrument also assists with suture ligation and blunt dissection when a secure, atraumatic grasp is needed.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft aligns the jaw axis with the target vessel for direct compression and precise placement. Serrated jaws increase purchase on soft tissue and vessel walls to reduce slippage during clamping. A standard box lock and ratchet mechanism permit incremental, hands-free locking at controlled pressures, enabling secure occlusion while the surgeon prepares ligatures or continues the procedure. Finger rings provide familiar ergonomics for tactile control and swift instrument exchanges.
