ConXport Halsted-Mosquito hemostatic forceps, commonly referred to as Mosquito forceps, are a vital tool used in various surgical and medical procedures to control bleeding and provide hemostasis. Mosquito forceps are small, delicate instruments measuring around 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They feature slender, curved jaws with serrated tips that resemble mosquito mouthparts, hence the name. These forceps are equipped with a ratcheted locking mechanism near the handle. This allows the surgeon to clamp the forceps shut, applying constant pressure to the tissue and effectively controlling bleeding.
