Merit Sterile Hartmann Mosquito forceps are used as both a hemostat and for fine tissue dissection in shallow wounds and procedures. Most commonly utilized in plastic and vascular surgeries, they can also be used in pediatric and ophthalmologic procedures. Known for their fine tips, short fully serrated jaws, these Mosquito Forceps can be used as a clamping instrument to halt blood flow so that cauterization or ligation can be performed. They are also used for holding small, fine sutures. Hartmann Mosquito Forceps are shorter and heavier than Halstead Mosquito Forceps. Merit Sterile instruments are ready-to-use, sterile, disposable, office-grade instruments most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures; they are sold in bulk quantities. This product is available straight or curved.
