Mosquito forceps catch and hold small bleeding points so that they can be tied or coagulated. The slim curved tips pick up a vessel with very little surrounding tissue, and the variable ratchet lets the operator decide how firmly the jaws close before they lock.
Because it is only 12.5 cm long, the Halsted mosquito is used close to the surface in fine and superficial work, while longer haemostats such as the Rochester Pean take over in deep cavities. Nursing schools and colleges that buy scientific & laboratory instruments for skills training often begin instrument-handling classes with this forceps. Keep the fine tips protected in storage so they continue to meet evenly.
ScienceLab is the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, which sources and supplies the Halsted mosquito forceps for operating theatres, minor-procedure rooms, teaching hospitals and distributors in India and international markets.
