Product Overview

The Crile Artery Forcep is a vital step up from the delicate Mosquito forcep. Designed for clamping larger vessels and pulling through heavier tissue, its jaws feature full-length transverse serrations. This ensures that whether you are occluding a bleeder or grasping a tissue pedicle, the pressure is distributed evenly across the entire jaw surface, preventing slippage and ensuring absolute hemostasis.

Key Features

• “Beast-Bite” Full Serrations: Unlike Kelly forceps (which are only partially serrated), the Crile features transverse serrations along the entire length of the jaw, allowing for secure clamping even when using the very back of the instrument.

• Precision Box Joint: Engineered with a high-tolerance box joint that maintains perfect tip alignment, preventing the jaws from “scissoring” under the high pressure of vessel occlusion.

• Multi-Position Ratchet Lock: Equipped with a fine-tuned ratchet mechanism that provides a secure, self-retaining hold, allowing the surgeon to “lock and leave” the instrument with confidence.

• Ergonomic Finger Rings: The handles are balanced and weighted to provide maximum tactile feedback, ensuring the surgeon can feel the exact density of the structure being clamped.

• Straight & Curved Configurations: Available in both styles to allow for direct clamping or to reach behind anatomical structures in deep surgical fields.
