Clinical Application
Compact curved hemostatic forceps designed for precise control of small-caliber vessels and delicate soft tissue. The 9 cm length and curved jaw profile make it suitable for superficial and confined surgical fields where fine, controlled vessel occlusion is required—common in procedures such as minor general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive cases, and select pediatric or outpatient interventions. The 1x2 tooth tip provides a secure, point-to-point grip for placing ligatures, clamping pedicles, or temporarily controlling bleeding while minimizing tissue slippage.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft and mid-level length improve line-of-sight and access around anatomical structures, allowing the surgeon to approach a vessel tangentially and work in shallow cavities. Longitudinal serrations along the jaw combined with a 1x2 tooth arrangement concentrate contact force at the tip for reliable hold without excessive crushing of surrounding tissue. The instrument’s locking ratchet maintains sustained occlusion hands-free, facilitating suture placement or electrocautery without repeated manual pressure.
