- Designed for clamping blood vessels to control bleeding (hemostasis) or for grasping delicate tissue during surgical procedures
Uses
- Hemostasis:
- Primarily used to clamp small-to-medium blood vessels to stop blood flow during surgery
- Tissue Grasping:
- Utilized for holding or manipulating soft tissue where a secure, non-slip grip is required
- Medical & Veterinary Surgery:
- Common in both human general surgery and veterinary procedures due to its versatile size
Features
- Curved Jaws:
- The curved tip provides better visibility and allows the surgeon to reach around structures more easily than straight models
- Serrated Jaws:
- Features horizontal serrations along the entire length of the jaw to ensure a firm, secure grip on tissue or vessels
- Ratchet Lock:
- Equipped with a multi-position locking mechanism on the handle, allowing for hands-free clamping at varied pressures
- Japanese Stainless Steel:
- Forged from high-quality stainless steel for durability and high resistance to corrosion
- Vantage® Series:
- A "mid-grade" or utility instrument that provides surgical performance at a more accessible price point
Benefits
- Optimal Maneuverability:
- The 6-1/4-inch length is a "middle-ground" size that offers a balance between the precision of small forceps and the strength of larger ones
- Consistent Quality:
- Being part of the Vantage line ensures pattern consistency, meaning replacement instruments will have the same "feel" and dimensions
- Autoclavable:
- Fully reusable and designed to withstand standard sterilization protocols
