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.
