Surgeons, in particular, need a wide range of equipment to perform their work. A doctor needs many other instruments, usually more than one, to perform surgery. Hemostatic forceps are two of the main instruments. Many surgical procedures would not be possible without them.
Forceps
Forceps are an instrument similar to tweezers or scissors for grasping objects. Forceps, like tweezers, are pinched in the middle so that the ends touch. Other tweezers twist like scissors but have a lock on the handle to hold them in place. Some tweezers have a smooth tip, while others have knuckles for a better grip. Tweezers come in different sizes and have different tips. They are usually made of stainless steel, but sometimes plastic tweezers are used. Each type has a different function, helping the surgeon in all areas of the human body.
- When a doctor cannot touch a sterile dressing, forceps can be used.
- During surgery or in places where fingers cannot reach, forceps can get caught on small pieces of tissue.
- The tip of an intestinal forceps is quite long and thin. Its purpose is to protect the bowel from damage by limiting its movement.
- Other types of forceps are designed to hold organs such as the bladder in place.
Hemostatic Forceps
Hemostatic forceps, also known as hemostats or forceps, are a type of forceps. They are similar to scissors, but they do not cut. They are often used to clamp blood vessels or to hold and hold tissue or blood vessels in place. They range from 3 to 9 inches in length and are equipped with serrated jaws that provide gripping and crushing force. Most hemostats have grooves along the jaws, some have longitudinal grooves, and some have a combination of grooves.
Each unit has a lock or latch that allows it to be locked and left in place. All hemostats are available with straight or curved jaws. The size of the blood vessel or clot to be clamped determines the size of the clamp.
Hemostatic clamps are hinged and resemble round scissors. Hemostatic forceps usually have a locking mechanism, called a latch, which is used to lock the forceps. The jaws of the locking clamp gradually converge with each movement of the ratchet. Hemostatic clamping clamps, also called clips, are used to hold the tissues in place. When used to control blood flow, they are called hemostatic clamps.
Hemostatic clamps are often used to block the flow of blood or fluid by squeezing blood vessels or other tubular structures. Ring clamps are used for grasping, holding, or pulling objects. Ring forceps with a locking clamp is often preferable to needle forceps for particularly delicate procedures.
How it Works
The first letter of the word, Hemo, is a Latin prefix meaning “blood.” Hemostats come in different shapes and sizes to fit different types of blood vessels in the body. The main function of a hemostat is to hold the blood vessels and keep them in place. During surgery, it is very important to close the blood vessels so that the patient does not bleed to death.
