Halsted-Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps 140mm (14cm) (Ref HF 04-27-02)

Halsted-Mosquito Hemostatic Forceps 140mm (14cm) (Ref HF 04-27-02), supplied from Fizza Surgical’s instrument range under ISO 13485:2016 quality management.

Refined in the 1890s at Johns Hopkins by William Stewart Halsted, the Halsted-Mosquito pattern is the standard fine hemostatic forceps for small-vessel clamping. The narrow tip handles bleeders too fine for Crile or Kelly patterns without crushing surrounding tissue — a hallmark of Halsted’s meticulous-hemostasis surgical tradition. Today the 12.5 cm and 14 cm lengths cover general surgery, plastic and reconstructive work, paediatric procedures, microsurgery prep, and dental extractions. The fully-serrated jaws and 3-step ratchet lock provide graduated clamping pressure; 1×2 toothed variants extend the pattern’s use to ligature placement around vascular pedicles.

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.
