Artery Forceps
Artery forceps belong to a group of surgical instruments called hemostats. Artery forceps are available at Surgical Holdings for grasping and compressing an artery to control bleeding, typically using handles that can be held in place by a locking mechanism. They feature a serrated jaw design that ensures a firm grip on the vessels, aiding in temporary occlusion to manage bleeding effectively. As the artery forceps are closed, the opposing teeth engage and interlock, keeping the handles adducted and the jaw surfaces clamped constantly. Artery forceps use finger loops to facilitate handling. The finger loops are usually grasped by the thumb and middle or ring fingers, while the index finger helps stabilise and guide the instrument. Manufactured by Surgical Holdings from high-quality 420 stainless steel for durability and sterility, artery forceps play a vital role in maintaining a clear operative field and preventing excessive blood loss. Surgeons utilise these forceps in a wide range of surgical interventions, contributing to successful surgical outcomes by ensuring precise hemostasis.
