English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Forceps with a catch for locking the blades, used for seizing the end of a blood vessel to control hemorrhage.

OBS

The main purpose [of hemostatic forceps] is to achieve hemostasis (control of the flow of blood). After a hemostat has been secured to a blood vessel, generally either a suture is tied around the vessel or electrocautery is applied to the end of the vessel to achieve final hemostasis.

OBS

Dissecting hemostatic forceps clamp onto blood vessels and control bleeding. They ... tend to be long and slender in order to get to blood vessels easily and with a minimum of trauma. [They] resemble scissors and have locking mechanisms that maintain a firm clamp on blood vessels, holding them in place.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
DEF

Pince à crans d'arrêt servant à l'hémostase.

OBS

Le premier usage de la pince à hémostase est de permettre par une préhension fine la ligature d'un vaisseau ou sa coagulation par le bistouri électrique. Elle est aussi un bon complément dans le repérage et la mise en tension des tissus au cours de la dissection, sur une aponévrose, un sac herniaire, une vaginale d'hydrocèle. Enfin, [elle sert de] pince repère sur les fils passés et en attente [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
  • Blood
DEF

An agent that arrests the flow of blood.

CONT

All hemostatics work better when the hemorrhage has been controlled by pressure to a pressure point proximal to the wound. This slows or stops the blood to the wound, allowing better visualization and better application of the hemostatic agent.
