CRILE HEMOSTATIC FORCEPS
Description:- Crile Haemostatic Forceps are surgical instruments designed to clamp blood vessels to control bleeding during surgical procedures. They have a straight or curved shape with serrated jaws and a locking mechanism (ratchet) that holds the forceps securely in place. Widely used in both human and veterinary surgeries, they are essential tools for haemostasis.
