Rochester Carmalt Hemostatic Fcps str 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure clamping and hemostasis of large pedicles, vascular bundles and tissue pedicles during open procedures. The longitudinal serrations provide atraumatic grip along the jaw length while transverse serrations at the tip enhance purchase on tissue and suture material, making this instrument useful when controlling the ovarian pedicle, uterine vessels, bowel mesentery or for temporary control in trauma and general surgery cases. Its straight configuration is suited to direct access in standard open dissections.

Design & Configuration

The straight Rochester-Carmalt geometry produces axial compression along the jaw length, dispersing crushing force to reduce the risk of tissue slippage. Longitudinal serrations resist longitudinal movement of tissue, and the cross-serrated tip secures smaller bundles and suture material. A standard box-lock with ratchet-style locking allows the instrument to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous manual force, freeing an assistant or permitting a staged ligation workflow.
