Sklar's Rochester-Carmalt homeostatic forceps are a standard type of clamp used in several procedures. These forceps have longitudinal serrations the entire length of the jaw, and the tips are cross-serrated. The fully serrated working surface allows this instrument to have greater grip on heavy or tough tissue and stop blood flow of large vessels. The ratcheted handle allows locking on larger tissue for homeostasis. Rochester-Carmalt Forceps are available curved or straight and in a variety of lengths.
