Dandy Hemostatic Forceps: Specialized Hemostasis for Scalp Flaps
The Dandy Hemostatic Forceps from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for neurosurgeons, expertly designed for managing bleeding along the edges of a scalp incision. This specialized artery forceps is made from premium German Stainless Steel, ensuring a firm, non-slip grip on vascular tissues during complex cranial operations.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Dandy forceps undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The unique sideways (lateral) curve of the jaws allows the handles to be positioned away from the primary surgical site, granting the surgeon an unobstructed view. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the serrations are perfectly aligned to provide secure hemostasis without causing excessive tissue necrosis.
Surgical Applications
- Neurosurgery: Primarily used to clamp the cut edges of the scalp and control bleeding from the subgaleal vessels.
- General Surgery: Useful in procedures where lateral retraction and hemostasis are required simultaneously in shallow cavities.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Aids in managing vascular flaps during complex tissue transfers.
Care and Maintenance Section
To maintain the integrity of the ratchet lock and box joint, the forceps should be cleaned thoroughly of blood and biological residue before autoclaving. It is highly recommended to lubricate the joints regularly to ensure smooth operation. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
