Conodent Artery Forceps Straight 160mm

Description

The Conodent Artery Forceps (Straight 160 mm / 6 inches)—commonly referred to as Halsted Mosquito or Pean Hemostatic Forceps—are precision surgical and dental instruments designed for clamping blood vessels, controlling localized bleeding, and securely gripping delicate tissues, membranes, or surgical dressings. Engineered with a reliable box-joint hinge and a multi-stage ratcheted locking mechanism, these forceps provide secure, hands-free hemostasis and precise tissue control during surgical and periodontal procedures.

Key Clinical Applications

• Hemostasis & Blood Vessel Clamping: Clamp severed or bleeding blood vessels to achieve immediate hemostasis during surgical extractions, flap elevations, and soft-tissue procedures.

• Delicate Tissue Manipulation: Safely grasp, hold, and retract fragile mucosal tissues, membranes, or muscle slips without causing crushing trauma.

• Dressing & Cotton Pellet Placement: Securely hold and maneuver cotton rolls, gauze strips, or surgical dressings within the oral cavity or operative wound site.

• Needle & Suture Management: Can be utilized in minor interventions to hold suture needles or secure small items during tray preparation.

Technical Specifications

Detailed Functional & Design Features

1. Fine Cross-Serrated Straight Jaws

The inner faces of the straight jaws feature precise cross-serrations that run along the clamping surface. This pattern ensures a firm, non-slip grip on slippery vessel walls or delicate tissues without cutting or crushing the underlying structure.

2. Multi-Position Ratchet Locking System

Equipped with an interlocking ratchet mechanism near the finger rings, allowing clinicians to lock the jaws securely at incremental tension levels. This provides reliable, hands-free hemostasis control, freeing up the clinician’s hands during active procedures.

3. Optimized 160 mm Length & Balance

The 160 mm shaft length offers an ideal balance between deep intraoral reach and fine manual control. The tapered profile ensures high visibility around the surgical site without blocking lighting or line-of-sight.

4. Durable Biocompatible Construction

Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the instrument withstands repetitive mechanical stress, exposure to blood and clinical solutions, and high-temperature autoclave sterilization cycles without joint stiffness or pitting.
