Sklar Christophe Hemostatic Forceps, Curved
A 5 inch curved hemostatic forceps with serrated jaws, used to clamp and control small blood vessels and tissue during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Christophe Hemostatic Forceps is a 5 inch curved clamping instrument with serrated jaws, used to occlude small blood vessels and tissue pedicles during a wide range of general surgical procedures. The curved shape allows the surgeon to approach a vessel from an angle rather than head on, which is often more practical in a crowded surgical field, and the serrated jaw surface grips the vessel firmly enough to stop blood flow while the ratcheted handle locks the clamp closed hands-free.
This listing includes two size options, giving surgical teams a choice between instrument lengths depending on the depth of the surgical field and personal preference. Hemostatic forceps of this general size and pattern are among the most heavily used instruments in any operating theatre, called on repeatedly through a single case whenever a bleeding point needs to be controlled before cautery or ligation.
Surgeons, surgical assistants and scrub technicians across specialties handle instruments like this constantly, and as a reusable stainless steel tool it is cleaned, inspected and sterilized between every use.
