Crile Artery Forceps | Straight & Curved Hemostatic Clamps

Professional Crile Artery Forceps for Reliable Hemostasis and Tissue Clamping

The Crile Artery Forceps are among the most versatile hemostatic tools in modern surgery, specifically engineered to clamp blood vessels and secure soft tissue. Unlike smaller mosquito forceps, these Crile Forceps feature longer, fully serrated jaws that provide a uniform grip across the entire surface of the clamped area. They are indispensable for surgeons who require a dependable hemostatic artery clamp that can withstand the rigors of frequent use in general and specialized operating environments.

Forged from high-quality AISI 420 surgical stainless steel, our Crile Hemostatic Forceps are designed for maximum durability and resistance to corrosion. The surgical dissecting forceps design includes a smooth box joint and a precise ratchet locking system, allowing for effortless one-handed manipulation during critical moments. Whether you are using a straight artery forceps for superficial ligation or a curved version for deep tissue access, Adas Instruments ensures a tool that meets the highest global clinical standards.

Surgical Applications

• General Surgery: Used extensively for clamping larger vessels to control bleeding during incisions.
• Vascular Surgery: Ideal for temporary occlusion of vessels during repair or bypass procedures.
• Gynecology: Essential for securing heavy tissue ligaments and controlling hemostasis in pelvic surgeries.
• Veterinary Medicine: A robust choice for clamping and dissecting in various animal health procedures.

Care and Maintenance Guidelines

• Immediate Cleaning: Rinse under lukewarm water immediately after surgery to remove organic matter from the serrations.
• Detergent Use: Use a neutral pH enzymatic cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals that can pit the stainless steel surface.
• Ultrasonic Bath: Safe for ultrasonic cleaning; always ensure the forceps are in the fully open position.
• Lubrication: Apply medical-grade lubricant to the box joint and ratchet teeth before every sterilization cycle.
• Sterilization: Fully autoclavable. Standard cycles: 134°C (273°F) for 3.5 minutes or 121°C for 20 minutes.
