In stock
The 5-inch straight artery forcep (commonly known as a hemostat or mosquito forcep) is a scissor-like, locking surgical instrument. It is primarily used to temporarily clamp off blood vessels to control bleeding (hemostasis) and to grasp, hold, or manipulate tissues, sutures, and small materials during medical and dental procedures.

Specs & features.
Constructed from premium, medical-grade stainless steel, this compact 5-inch instrument features two finger rings, a box joint or hinge, and interlocking jaws. The "straight" designation means the jaws have no curvature, allowing for direct, unidirectional access in open surgeries or shallow, reachable workspaces.
No specifications have been listed.
- Serrated Jaws: The inner surfaces of the jaws feature interlocking grooves or serrations. This provides an ultra-strong, non-slip grip on delicate tissues or vessels without causing excessive trauma or damage.
- Ratchet/Locking Mechanism: Positioned near the finger rings, a multi-step interlocking ratchet mechanism secures the forceps in a closed position. This enables "hands-free" clamping and applies continuous, uniform pressure.
- Corrosion-Resistant & Autoclavable: Made of high-quality stainless steel, typically with a satin or mirror polish to prevent glare. It is highly resistant to oxidation and can be easily autoclaved for sterilization.
