Surgical Forceps

Surgical forceps are locking, ring-handled instruments used to clamp blood vessels, control bleeding and hold tissue securely during surgery. Healermed Instruments manufactures hemostatic and clamping forceps in German stainless steel, with a precise ratchet lock that holds firm without slipping.

Note: these are locking ring forceps. For hand-held, non-locking grasping instruments, see our Thumb & Tissue Forceps range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are hemostatic forceps used for?

Hemostatic forceps clamp blood vessels to stop or control bleeding during surgery. Their ratchet lock keeps pressure on the vessel without the surgeon having to hold it closed.

What is the difference between forceps and tissue forceps?

Ring-handled surgical forceps lock shut and are used for clamping. Thumb or tissue forceps are hand-held, non-locking, and used like tweezers to grasp and hold tissue.
