Spencer-Wells Artery Forceps ^
Spencer Wells artery forceps, also known as hemostats, are surgical instruments designed for clamping blood vessels to control bleeding during surgery or medical procedures. Named after the British surgeon Sir William Spencer Wells, these forceps feature serrated jaws and handles for gripping and locking. The serrated surface helps to grasp tissue securely, while the locking mechanism maintains constant pressure on the vessel, preventing blood flow. Spencer Wells forceps come in various sizes and angles to accommodate different surgical needs. They are essential tools in both open and minimally invasive surgeries, allowing precise hemostasis without damaging surrounding tissue. These forceps are made of durable materials such as stainless steel, ensuring they can withstand sterilization processes for repeated use in operating rooms and medical facilities.
