Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps, 5.5 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 5.5-inch straight configuration is the most compact in the straight Rochester-Pean line, offering good control in confined operative fields where a shorter working length is preferred. 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 or tissue bundles in accessible anatomical areas will find the 5.5-inch straight Rochester-Pean a reliable, compact heavy hemostat. Procedures where a shorter working length offers better control — such as pediatric surgery or confined operative fields — will benefit from the 5.5-inch length over the standard 6.25-inch model. General surgery, gynecology, and urology teams that routinely clamp large tissue bundles during dissection and ligation will find the fully serrated straight jaws effective 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 this compare to the other Rochester-Pean sizes?
This is the 5.5-inch straight model (SKU 5652). The Rochester-Pean line also includes a 6.25-inch straight (SKU 5653), a 5.5-inch curved (SKU 5654), and a 6.25-inch curved (SKU 5655). Straight models are used for direct-access clamping; curved models follow tissue contours in deeper planes. Choose the length and configuration based on your 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.
