Merit Vorse tube occluding forceps is a ratcheted, finger ring instrument used to block the flow of fluids from large chest tubes or tubing from bypass machines. The beveled, cross-serrated jaws provide a tight grip on tubing, while the ratcheted locking mechanism can hold that grip in place. Merit instruments are Sklar’s office-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee.
