Sklar Halsted Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps

The Sklar Halsted Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps is a small clamping instrument used to occlude fine bleeding vessels where a larger hemostat would be too bulky for the surgical field. Its serrated jaws provide a secure grip on small vessels and delicate tissue, and the box lock ratchet allows the surgeon to leave it clamped in place while attention turns elsewhere in the field.

Measuring 5 inches, this straight pattern is a standard size used in fine general surgery, plastic surgery and paediatric procedures where precision matters more than reach. Mosquito forceps of this type are essential in most general surgical trays and are used by surgeons and scrub staff across hospitals, day surgery centres and specialist clinics whenever small vessel control is needed.

As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is designed to withstand repeated sterilisation cycles and remains one of the most commonly stocked hemostats in operating theatres throughout the UAE and GCC.
