DeBakey-Mosquito Atrauma Hemostatic Forceps

Description

DeBakey-Mosquito Atrauma Hemostatic Forceps

DeBakey mosquito forceps bring atraumatic jaws to a small, light hemostat. They suit fine vessels, small branches and delicate tissue.

Small size, light touch

Mosquito hemostats have slim jaws for precise work. So adding DeBakey jaws makes them useful on small vessels. Also, their size keeps them from crowding a tight field where several instruments already sit.

12, 13 or 15 cm

The 12 cm size handles surface work in small spaces. Then the 13 cm option adds a little reach without losing that light feel. However, the 15 cm version helps when the vessel sits a bit deeper.

Straight or curved

Straight tips suit direct, in-line clamping. Alternatively, curved tips let you view the point as you close them. Many trays carry both, so staff can switch quickly as the field changes.

Common uses

Surgeons often reach for DeBakey mosquito forceps when a standard hemostat feels too bulky. For example, small side branches may need a lighter clamp. In addition, pediatric cases often favor smaller instruments that suit a small working space.

Cleaning DeBakey mosquito forceps

Handle the slim tips carefully, since a drop can knock them out of line. Rinse, clean and dry them soon after each case, before residue hardens between the jaws. Then store them in a rack that keeps the tips from touching other steel.
