Crile-Rankin Hemostatic Forceps — 160 mm (16 cm), Pattern 90

Crile-Rankin Hemostatic Forceps — 160 mm (16 cm), Pattern 90 (Ref HF 04-90-01), supplied from Fizza Surgical’s instrument range under ISO 13485:2016 quality management.

Where Halsted-Mosquito handles the finest bleeders, Crile hemostatic forceps step up one tier — medium-calibre vessels and tissue clamping during routine dissection. George Washington Crile, founder of the Cleveland Clinic in 1921, developed the pattern as a workhorse general-surgery clamp. The 14 cm and 16 cm lengths cover bowel resection, appendectomy, thyroidectomy, and the bulk of routine hemostasis. Crile forceps are fully serrated like Halsted-Mosquito but heavier, with wider jaws for slightly larger vessels. Many general-surgery trays include four Criles (two straight, two curved) alongside two Halsted-Mosquito pairs and a Kelly for graduated vessel-size coverage.

Manufacturing compliance is verified through ISO 13485:2016 certification (the international medical-device quality standard), CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, and FDA establishment registration. Certificate copies and regulatory documentation are available on request for inclusion in hospital procurement files and EU technical documentation packages. Sterilization validation follows ISO 17665 for steam autoclave at 134 °C.
