Hemostat

Last crawled date: 5 years ago

A hemostat (also called a hemostatic clamp, arterial forceps or peang (after Jules-Émile Péan)), is a vital surgical tool used in almost any surgical procedure, usually to control bleeding. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see the initial incision festooned with hemostats closing blood vessles awating ligation during the initial phases of surgery. They belong to a group of instruments that pivots (similar to scissors, includes needle holders, tissue holders and various clamps), and where the structure of the tip determines their function. #forceps #hemostats #medicine #surgery
