Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps, 6.25 Inch, Straight

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, straight jaws provide a secure grip across the full jaw length for direct, controlled clamping of larger structures where lighter hemostats would be insufficient. The 6.25-inch straight configuration is suited for surface-level and direct-access clamping tasks where a curved instrument is not required. 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 direct clamping of large blood vessels, tissue pedicles, or vascular structures with unobstructed access will find the straight Rochester-Pean forceps a reliable heavy-duty hemostat for these applications. General surgery, gynecology, and urology teams that routinely clamp large tissue bundles during dissection and ligation will benefit from the fully serrated jaws and straight configuration for secure, controlled clamping in accessible anatomical areas. Surgical instrument sets for major open procedures commonly include both straight and curved Rochester-Pean forceps to accommodate different tissue access angles and operative field requirements. Central sterile supply departments managing instrument reprocessing will find the stainless steel construction straightforward to clean, inspect, and autoclave between uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between straight and curved Rochester-Pean forceps?
Straight Rochester-Pean forceps (SKU 5653) are used for direct, surface-level clamping where the tissue or vessel is easily accessible without angling the instrument. Curved Rochester-Pean forceps (SKU 5655, 6.25" curved; SKU 5654, 5.5" curved) allow the surgeon to follow the natural contour of tissue planes and improve visibility during clamping in deeper or angled anatomical areas. Both have the same fully serrated jaw design and ratcheted handle.

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.
