Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps, 5.5 Inch, Curved

Rochester-Pean hemostatic forceps are heavy-duty surgical clamps used for clamping large blood vessels, tissue bundles, and pedicles during surgical procedures. The fully serrated, curved jaws provide a secure grip across the full jaw length, making these forceps suitable for clamping larger structures where lighter hemostats would be insufficient. The 5.5-inch curved configuration offers a slightly more compact working length than the 6.25-inch model, while maintaining the same heavy-duty clamping capability. The ratcheted ring handle provides controlled, hands-free holding during procedures. Constructed from stainless steel for durability and compatibility with standard autoclave sterilization.

Ideal For

Surgeons and surgical technologists performing open surgical procedures requiring clamping of large blood vessels, tissue pedicles, or vascular structures will find the Rochester-Pean forceps a reliable heavy-duty hemostat for these demanding applications. The 5.5-inch length is particularly well-suited for procedures where a slightly more compact heavy clamp is preferred over the standard 6.25-inch model, such as in pediatric surgery or confined operative fields. General surgery, gynecology, and urology teams that routinely clamp large tissue bundles during dissection and ligation will benefit from the fully serrated jaws and curved configuration for secure, controlled clamping. Central sterile supply departments managing instrument reprocessing will find the stainless steel construction straightforward to clean, inspect, and autoclave between uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 5.5-inch compare to the 6.25-inch Rochester-Pean (SKU 5655)?
Both are curved, fully serrated heavy hemostats with the same jaw design and ratcheted handle. The 5.5-inch (SKU 5654) is slightly more compact, offering better control in confined operative fields or when a shorter working length is preferred. The 6.25-inch (SKU 5655) provides additional reach for deeper tissue clamping. Choose based on the procedure and anatomical access requirements.

What is the difference between Rochester-Pean and Kelly or Crile forceps?
Rochester-Pean forceps are larger, heavier hemostats with fully serrated jaws designed for clamping large blood vessels and tissue bundles. Kelly forceps are lighter with half-serrated jaws for smaller vessels. Crile forceps are fully serrated but lighter than Rochester-Pean, making them a mid-weight option. Choose based on the size and type of structure being clamped.

Are these autoclavable?
Yes. Stainless steel surgical forceps are compatible with standard autoclave sterilization. Follow your facility's sterilization protocols and inspect the instrument for wear, jaw damage, or ratchet failure before each use.

Are these reusable?
Yes. These are reusable stainless steel instruments designed for repeated use with proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization between procedures.
