Clinical Application
Rochester-Pean straight hemostatic forceps are used to achieve reliable hemostasis of medium-to-large vessels and to securely grasp tissue bundles or pedicles during open surgical procedures. They are commonly employed in general surgery, vascular, orthopedic and gynecologic cases for vessel control, temporary tissue clamping during ligation, and blunt dissection when firm, sustained compression is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight configuration with a 24 cm length provides extended reach and direct alignment for both superficial and deeper operative fields. Full-length transverse serrations across the jaw surface distribute compressive force evenly and enhance grip on thicker tissue and larger-caliber vessels. Ring handles with a multi-tooth ratchet mechanism enable positive locking and hands-free maintenance of clamping pressure, improving efficiency during ligation and suturing steps.
