Clamps

Hemostats and surgical clamps for controlled hemostasis and tissue management

Choose from professional-grade hemostats designed for precise clamping and reliable field control. This assortment focuses on hemostatic forceps (also called surgical clamps or artery forceps) suitable for gynecologic and general surgical workflows, with current availability centered on Bengolea clamp patterns in straight and curved profiles.

Straight vs. curved hemostats — selection criteria

Straight hemostats favor linear approaches and superficial fields, while curved hemostats improve access around structures and in deeper or confined spaces. Match curvature to the working angle and depth you expect, and select length to balance reach with fine control. For exact dimensions, refer to each product page.

Jaw/teeth & ratcheted locking — grip and control

Jaw profile and locking determine how securely you can occlude vessels or hold tissue. Pair a suitable jaw geometry with consistent ratchet engagement to maintain clamping pressure without hand fatigue. When in doubt, confirm jaw details and locking style on the individual product page before ordering.

Materials & compliance — markings and IFU

Select instruments with appropriate stainless steel grades and clear markings, and always follow the device IFU and your facility’s protocols. Proper documentation supports quality systems requirements and consistent clinical outcomes.

Reusable handling — care & reprocessing pointers

• Clean and inspect immediately after use; check jaw alignment and surface integrity.
• Lubricate if specified by the IFU to preserve smooth ratchet function.
• Sterilize per manufacturer instructions; store in protective trays or pouches.

Professional FAQs

Curved vs. straight hemostats — when should I choose each?
Use straight for direct lines of approach and superficial fields; choose curved to improve visualization and access around tissue planes or deeper sites.

Toothed vs. non-toothed hemostatic forceps — what are the implications?
More aggressive jaws can improve purchase on tougher tissue but may increase trauma risk; match jaw design to tissue characteristics and the intended task, and confirm specifics on the product page.

Reusable vs. sterile single-use surgical clamps — what should I consider?
Reusable instruments offer long-term value with rigorous reprocessing; sterile single-use options can reduce turnover time and cross-contamination risk when policy requires. Follow IFU and facility protocols for either route.
