Kelly-Fraser Hemostatic Forceps — 235 mm (23.5 cm)

Kelly-Fraser Hemostatic Forceps — 235 mm (23.5 cm) (Ref HF 04-235-09), supplied from Fizza Surgical’s instrument range under ISO 13485:2016 quality management.

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.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
