Hemostatic forceps, hemostats, are used primarily to control bleeding during surgical procedures, and they are also used for a variety of other applications. Most hemostatic forceps have ring handles and a ratchet-style, locking mechanism to adjust the tension on the forceps and to keep the jaws clamped in place, maintaining constant pressure on the tissue or blood vessel being occluded. They also have jaws with interlocking serrations or teeth for a secure grip on tissues. The tips of hemostats are often narrow and delicate, allowing for precise manipulation of tissues and vessels. They vary in size, tip shape, type of metal, and function. Here are some applications for which hemostatic forceps are uniquely designed...more

Surgical forceps or surgical tweezers are common surgical instruments, but there's a large variety of tweezers to choose from. In general forceps can be grouped as thumb forceps (frequently called surgical tweezers, gripping forceps, non-locking forceps or pinning forceps) or ring forceps (also called hemostats, hemostatic forceps and locking forceps). Thumb forceps are spring forceps used by compression between your thumb and forefinger and are used for grasping, holding or manipulating tissue or objects. They are non-ratchet style. Hemostatic forceps are hinged forceps that look more like scissors with ring handles. Focusing on thumb forceps, they can be further categorized as tissue forceps and dressing forceps. Let's explore the differences between tissue forceps and dressing forceps for surgical applications and research laboratories.
