Spencerwells Artery Fcps S/J str 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic control of bleeding in open surgical procedures, this Spencer-Wells straight artery forceps is used to occlude small-to-medium caliber vessels for temporary hemostasis, to hold ligatures during vessel ligation, and to stabilize tissue during suturing and dissection. Its 15 cm length places it in the moderate-length range preferred for general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, ENT and many soft-tissue procedures where precise, locked vessel control is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides a direct line of sight and delivery to the target vessel, making it useful in confined or superficial operative fields. The ring handles and ratchet locking mechanism allow the instrument to remain securely closed without continuous manual pressure, freeing an assistant or allowing staged operative steps. Serrated jaws reduce the risk of slippage on vascular tissue or ligatures, improving reliability when applying clips or tying sutures.
