Vascular forceps

Right!

Vascular forceps are mainly used to clamp blood vessels or bleeding points, also known as hemostatic forceps.

The English name (Hemostat or Clamp, straight, curved) vascular forceps is mainly used to clamp blood vessels or bleeding points, also known as hemostatic forceps. The main difference in the structure of vascular forceps is the alveolar bed. Due to the needs of surgical operations, the alveolar bed is divided into straight, curved, right-angle, and curved (such as renal pedicle forceps). Vascular forceps used in vascular surgery have thinner, shallower teeth and better elasticity. They have less crushing effect on tissues and less damage to the vessel wall and intima of the vessel. Because the front end of the forceps is smooth, it is easy to insert into the fascia, it is not easy to puncture the vein, and it is also used for separating anatomical tissue. It can also be used to pull sutures, pull out needles, or replace forceps, but it should not be used to clamp the skin, organs and fragile tissues. When used for hemostasis, the tip should be perpendicular to the tissue and clamp the stump of the bleeding vessel, and try to clamp the nearby tissue as little as possible, as shown on the right. Hemostatic forceps come in a variety of shapes and lengths to suit the needs of different natures of surgery and site. In addition to the common straight and curved two types, as shown in the right: there are tooth vascular forceps (full alveolar), mosquito-type straight and curved vascular forceps.
