Howard Atwood Kelly was one of the founding professors of Johns Hopkins alongside Halsted, Osler, and Welch — a gynecological surgeon whose name attaches to the larger hemostatic forceps used across general, gynecological, and urological procedures. The Kelly differs from Halsted-Mosquito and Crile in its longer length (14–18 cm typical) and partially-serrated jaws: the distal half smooth, the proximal half cross-serrated. This combination clamps larger pedicles without slipping while leaving the tip-handled tissue less crushed. Standard during hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and ligation of larger vessels in laparotomy. The Kelly pattern remains nearly unchanged from its turn-of-the-twentieth-century introduction.
