Description

Merit Halsted mosquito forceps are used in multiple procedures as a hemostat for small blood vessels. The ratcheted finger ring handle provides a secure, locking grip to halt blood flow. They are not appropriate for use with large vessels or arteries. Mosquito forceps are known for their fine tips, and short, fully serrated jaws. They are available curved or straight. Halsted mosquito forceps are very similar to the Hartmanns, however the Hartmann style is finer and more delicate. Merit instruments are Sklar’s office-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee.

Is the stainless steel construction durable for frequent use?
