Hemostats

Hemostats

Hemostats are grasping devices, similar to forceps, but with a ratcheted locking mechanism like a needle driver (Fig. 5-16). These are used to temporarily clamp bleeding vessels during surgery; vessels can later be sealed with electrosurgery or ligated with sutures before the hemostat is removed. Like needle drivers and forceps, hemostats may vary in length, tip size, curvature, and degree of serration. Common variants include the Jacobsen, Halsted, and Hartman. Small, lightweight hemostats, colloquially referred to as โ€œmosquitos,โ€ are most often used in dermatologic surgery.
