Sklar Merit Crile Forceps, Curved and Straight
Serrated hemostatic forceps used to clamp vessels and tissue during surgery, available in curved and straight patterns for general operating room use.
The Sklar Merit Crile Forceps is a hemostatic instrument used to clamp blood vessels and control bleeding during surgical procedures. The jaws carry serrated tips along their full length, giving a firm grip on tissue and vessels without the need for excessive pressure, which helps reduce trauma to surrounding structures.
A ratcheted handle locks the jaws closed so the surgeon or assisting staff can set the clamp aside while it continues to hold pressure, freeing hands for other steps in the procedure. This listing covers both curved and straight patterns, so theatre staff can choose the geometry that suits the surgical field, with curved jaws often preferred for reaching around structures and straight jaws for direct access.
Made from surgical grade stainless steel, the forceps are built for repeated use through standard sterilisation cycles in a hospital or clinic setting. It is a standard general surgery instrument found in most operating trays and instrument sets across surgical departments and procurement lists.
