Product overview
Rochester-Carmalt forceps, straight: what they are used for.
Rochester-Carmalt forceps are heavy hemostatic forceps. The jaws have long serrations along their length and cross-serrations at the tip, which gives a firm hold on thick tissue. In veterinary surgery they are commonly used to clamp the ovarian pedicle and uterine body during a spay, and wherever a strong clamp is needed.
Straight jaws are chosen for the site and the surgeon's preference. Curved forceps follow a pedicle or body more naturally, and straight forceps give direct access. Length varies between catalogues, so we confirm it from your reference piece. A lighter alternative is the Kelly forceps.
