Halsted-Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps Straight 18cm

Product Description

Reusable Halsted-Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps 18cm Straight

The Reusable Halsted-Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps 18cm Straight are precision surgical clamping instruments designed for controlled hemostasis, small-vessel clamping and secure handling of suitable tissue or procedural materials. The slender Halsted-Mosquito pattern provides a fine working profile, while the extended 18cm length offers additional reach during surgical, clinical, dental and veterinary procedures.

The straight jaws provide direct positioning and clear alignment within the operative field. Fine serrations along the gripping surfaces help maintain a secure hold, while the adjustable ratchet-lock mechanism allows the forceps to retain the selected clamping pressure without continuous manual compression.

2. Confirm that the jaws align correctly and close evenly.
3. Position the straight jaws around the intended vessel, tissue or material.
4. Close the finger-ring handles gradually until the appropriate ratchet position engages.
5. Use only the minimum clamping pressure required for the intended procedure.
6. Release the ratchet carefully before removing the instrument.
7. Clean and reprocess the forceps promptly following use.

Cleaning, Inspection and Sterilization

• Clean the serrated jaws, box joint, ratchet and finger rings thoroughly.
• Use cleaning agents compatible with reusable stainless-steel surgical instruments.
• Rinse and completely dry the forceps before sterilization or storage.
• Inspect the jaw alignment, fine serrations and locking mechanism before every use.
• Check the box joint for smooth movement, corrosion or excessive looseness.
