Kelly Artery Forceps

Kelly artery forceps in 14cm are the short haemostatic clamp most wards and minor-OT trolleys expect to see in pairs. The pattern uses a box lock, finger rings and a ratchet so a vessel or bleed point can be held without continuous hand pressure. This length sits comfortably in a dressing tray and in small surgical fields where an 8 inch clamp is clumsy. It is listed as a single piece so stores can indent exact counts. Pair it on the shelf with the 8 inch Kelly and with Crile of the same length so buyers can choose tip behaviour without mixing families. Finish, jaw serration style and straight versus curved pattern should be confirmed against the piece you photograph before a tender is issued.
