Sklar Bengolea Forceps, Straight, Diagonal Serrations
An 8-1/4 inch straight hemostatic forceps with diagonal jaw serrations, used to clamp blood vessels and tissue for hemostasis during surgery.
The Sklar Bengolea Forceps is a hemostatic clamping forceps used to occlude blood vessels or hold tissue securely during surgical procedures, a routine task across general, vascular and gynecologic surgery. Measuring 8-1/4 inches with a straight profile, it offers moderate reach for mid depth surgical fields, and its diagonal jaw serrations are angled across the jaw face to improve grip and resist slipping when the clamp is under tension, particularly useful when clamping a pedicle or bundle of tissue rather than a single discrete vessel.
The ratcheted handle locks the jaws closed at the desired pressure, freeing the surgeon or assistant from having to maintain manual grip while the clamp does its job. This listing covers the straight configuration among eight length variants offered in the Bengolea family, giving surgical teams the ability to select the reach best suited to a given procedure.
As with other Sklar clamping forceps, it is manufactured for repeated clinical use with standard hospital sterilization between cases, and is a common component of general and vascular surgical instrument trays.
