Hemostatic Forceps
Hemostatic forceps (artery forceps) clamp bleeding vessels so they can be tied or coagulated. They are among the most-used instruments in surgery, and every set needs them in several sizes. Medfort makes all the classic patterns, straight and curved, in standard and delicate versions (codes SI-010401 to SI-010457).
Where they are used
They are used in every type of open surgery, from minor procedures to major abdominal, thoracic and trauma operations, and also for holding tissue and sutures.
Our range
- Pean and Kocher: standard, delicate and Nippon pattern
- Spencer-Wells and Kroenlein
- Others: Chaput, Pratt, and Martel-Rees face-lift forceps
- Straight and curved, in a range of lengths
Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
Small, delicate hemostats suit fine vessels in plastic and pediatric surgery. Pean forceps (smooth jaws) and Kocher forceps (with teeth at the tip) are the standard medium hemostats. Kocher forceps hold tough tissue securely. Longer forceps reach deep vessels in the abdomen and pelvis.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
