Halsted Mosquito Forceps
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Halsted Mosquito Forceps are precision instruments designed for delicate hemostatic control, soft tissue handling, and fine dissection. These versatile forceps are widely used in general surgery, dentistry, and veterinary procedures, making them an essential tool for clinicians and surgical professionals.
Developed by Dr. William Stewart Halsted, one of the founding surgeons of Johns Hopkins Hospital, these forceps were specifically designed to clamp small blood vessels and control bleeding during surgery, reducing the need for ligatures. Their fine, serrated jaws provide a secure grip without causing unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues, ensuring precise and effective use.
