The Kocher is the general-duty clamp of an instrument tray. It can close on a bleeding vessel, take hold of tissue, help separate layers during blunt dissection, or carry a folded swab as a tampon holder to mop or press on a bleeding area.
Its straight jaws are applied in line with the hand, which many users prefer for surface work, while the curved Kelly Artery Forceps of the same 14 cm length suits working around structures. Institutions ordering scientific & laboratory instruments for nursing and surgical training often stock straight and curved haemostats side by side. Wipe the ratchet clean after use and check that the jaws still meet evenly.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies the Kocher Artery Forceps Straight from Ambala, Haryana. It is one of the general-purpose haemostats the company sources for hospitals, clinics, nursing schools, dealers and importers, and it can be packed with other tray instruments on one order.
