Hemostatic forceps are surgical instruments used to control bleeding during medical procedures. They work by clamping blood vessels to stop the flow of blood, allowing surgeons to operate more effectively. These forceps come in various sizes and designs, including straight and curved types, to accommodate different surgical needs. Typically made of stainless steel, hemostatic forceps are durable and easy to sterilize. They are commonly used in various fields of medicine, including orthopedic surgery, cardiac surgery, and general surgery. Their reliable function makes them essential tools in both emergency and elective surgical settings.
