Sklar Lovelace Hemostatic Forceps, 1x2 Teeth
A toothed haemostatic forceps used to clamp small vessels and control bleeding while the surgeon secures or ligates them.
The Sklar Lovelace Hemostatic Forceps is used to occlude bleeding vessels temporarily so the surgical team can apply a ligature or cauterise the source of bleeding. Its 1x2 tooth pattern at the jaw tips interlocks to hold tissue and small vessels firmly, reducing the chance of the clamp slipping off during the procedure while the surgeon's attention is elsewhere in the field.
This pattern is a general purpose haemostatic instrument found across many surgical specialties, from general and gynaecological surgery to plastic and reconstructive procedures, wherever small vessel bleeding needs quick, reliable control. Surgeons and assistants typically keep several of these forceps on a tray at once, since multiple bleeding points can occur during dissection.
It measures 6-1/4 inches overall, a size suited to general open surgical access rather than deep or highly specialised fields. This listing is a single configuration. Being a Sklar surgical instrument, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and designed for repeated cleaning and sterilisation between cases.
