Seizing forceps, also known as hemostats, are a surgical instrument used to clamp blood vessels or other small structures during surgical procedures or medical treatments. They are typically made of stainless steel and consist of two blades that are hinged at one end, with a locking mechanism at the other end to hold the blades in place when clamped. Seizing forceps come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different tissues and procedures. They are an essential tool in many surgical and medical settings for controlling bleeding and manipulating small structures.
