Bainbridge Artery Forceps (Straight)

Artery Forceps

Overview

Straight Bainbridge artery forceps are a ring-handled haemostatic clamp used to grasp and temporarily occlude vessels or soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The pattern is also listed by instrument suppliers as artery and intestinal forceps, reflecting its use where a secure, controlled hold is required along a straight working line. This AZ Instruments listing shows the straight-jaw pattern photographed for the catalogue; length, steel grade and exact jaw serration specification should be confirmed against the factory quotation.
