Pratt Haemostatic Forceps

Description

Pratt Haemostatic forceps are specialist surgical tools used by general and plastic surgeons to grab, manipulate, and clamp tissues and blood vessels.

Functionality:

• Grasping and clamping: The primary role is to firmly grip and clamp blood vessels and other soft tissues. This reduces bleeding during surgery and improves visibility of the operating region.
• Minimizing Tissue Damage: The T-shaped, concave jaws are intended to reduce stress to the grabbed tissue. This is particularly important in sensitive treatments when tissue integrity is critical.
• Serrated Jaws: The jaws are finely serrated at the edges. These serrations provide the tissue a solid grip and keep it from slipping out of the clamp.

Design Features:

• Finger Rings: The forceps have ergonomic finger rings that improve handling and prevent unintentional sliding during operation.
• Ratchet Mechanism: A built-in ratchet mechanism enables the surgeon to lock the jaws at various pressure levels. This allows for exact control over the amount of clamping force used.
• Material: Pratt forceps are normally composed of high-quality stainless steel with a beautiful smooth surface. This makes them long-lasting, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean and sterilize.

Applications:

• General Surgical Procedures
• Plastic Surgery Procedures
• Gynecological procedures (such as gripping the cervix, uterus, or blood vessels)
• Grasp and manipulate hemorrhoidal tissue (Pratt-Smith variation)
