Introduction
In every surgical procedure, controlling bleeding is one of the surgeon’s top priorities. The instrument that makes this possible is the artery forceps, also known as a hemostatic forceps or artery clamp.
At Frago Impex Sdn Bhd, under our brand BENZ, we manufacture high-precision artery forceps designed for superior grip, safety, and reliability in surgical applications. Let’s explore their uses, benefits, and key features that make them indispensable in the operating room.
What Are Artery Forceps?
Artery forceps are surgical instruments used to grasp and clamp blood vessels to control bleeding during surgery. They are equipped with a ratchet lock mechanism that allows surgeons to maintain a firm hold without constant pressure.
These forceps come in straight or curved forms and are made from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and perfect sterilization.
Also known as:
- Hemostatic Forceps
- Artery Clamp
