Sklar Coller Hemostatic Forceps, Straight

The Sklar Coller Hemostatic Forceps is a straight clamping instrument used to occlude small blood vessels and tissue during general surgical procedures, offered across three length options of 5-1/2 inches, 6-1/4 inches and 7-1/2 inches, each available in more than one variant. This range of lengths gives surgical teams the flexibility to match instrument reach to the depth of the surgical field, from more superficial procedures to deeper dissections where a longer handle keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the immediate operative area.

The straight jaw design suits direct, in-line approaches to a bleeding vessel, and the ratcheted handle locks the clamp closed so the vessel remains controlled while the surgeon proceeds to ligate or cauterize it. Hemostatic forceps of this general type are among the most frequently used instruments across every surgical specialty, called on repeatedly through the course of a single procedure whenever bleeding needs to be controlled.

Surgeons, surgical assistants and scrub technicians rely on a full range of sizes like this being available on the tray, and as reusable stainless steel instruments they are cleaned, inspected and sterilized between cases.
