Sklar Merit Crile Hemostatic Forceps, Serrated
A ratcheted hemostatic forceps with serrated jaws for clamping blood vessels, offered in curved and straight patterns for general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Merit Crile Hemostatic Forceps is designed to clamp and occlude blood vessels during surgery, giving the surgical team temporary control of bleeding while other work continues. The jaws are fully serrated to provide a secure, even grip on tissue without slipping, and a box lock joint keeps the action smooth through repeated opening and closing.
A ratchet mechanism on the handles allows the forceps to be locked shut and left in place on the tissue, which is useful when several vessels need to be controlled at once during a procedure. This listing covers both the curved and straight versions of the instrument, giving operating room staff flexibility to select the pattern that best matches the surgical approach.
Constructed from stainless steel for durability, it withstands routine autoclave sterilisation and repeated use across many procedures. As a core general surgery instrument, it is commonly stocked in hemostasis sets, minor surgery trays and general instrument kits used throughout hospitals and clinics.
