Sklar Pean Gastro-Intestinal Hemostatic Forceps, 14 Inch
A curved 14 inch hemostatic forceps from Sklar used to control bleeding and hold bowel tissue securely during deep gastrointestinal surgical procedures.
The Sklar Pean Gastro-Intestinal Hemostatic Forceps are a longer version of the Pean pattern clamp, curved and measuring 14 inches, built to reach and control bleeding vessels or hold bowel tissue in deeper areas of the abdominal cavity where a shorter instrument would not comfortably reach. Surgeons performing extensive bowel resections or working in patients with a larger abdominal cavity rely on the extra length to maintain control at depth without straining to reach the surgical field.
The curved jaw follows the natural contour of the tissue being clamped, which can make it easier to apply securely around a rounded structure such as a loop of bowel or a vessel bundle. Hemostatic forceps of this length are a specific size within a general surgery instrument set, used less frequently than shorter, standard length clamps but essential when a deep field procedure calls for it.
General surgical departments handling complex or extensive abdominal cases typically keep a selection of longer instruments like this alongside their standard length equivalents.
