About this item
Halsted (or Halstead) Mosquito Forceps, also called mosquito hemostatic forceps or simply hemostats, are surgical instruments designed for clamping blood vessels or other small tissues to control bleeding during surgery or to provide a secure grip.
- Forceps have long, thin, and straight or curved jaws that taper to a fine tip
- Jaws are serrated for a firm grasp with minimal tissue trauma
- Handles of mosquito forceps have a ratchet lock
They are so named because they resemble the slender legs of a mosquito. Life science researchers like these fine hemostats because of the secure grip and the ability to manipulate them in confined spaces.
