Crile Artery Forceps 14–16cm

Crile Artery Forceps 14–16cm

The Crile Artery Forceps 14–16cm are surgical clamping instruments designed for temporary control of blood flow during general surgical procedures. Their ring-handle configuration incorporates a locking ratchet that allows the selected clamping position to be maintained while the surgeon continues the procedure.

The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-RS-0018. It is available in 14 cm and 16 cm lengths with a choice of straight or curved configurations and is handcrafted from premium surgical-grade stainless steel.

14cm Crile Artery Forceps

The first available length is 14 cm. This provides a more compact instrument configuration for surgical teams requiring shorter Crile artery forceps within a general surgical or hemostatic instrument set.

The 14 cm size can be selected together with the required straight or curved configuration according to the procedure and surgeon preference.

16cm Crile Artery Forceps

The product is also available in a longer 16 cm configuration. This option provides additional working reach compared with the 14 cm version while maintaining the same Crile artery-forceps pattern.

The live product page currently applies an additional price to the 16 cm option. Price information should remain controlled through the Shopify variant rather than being placed within the permanent product description.

Straight and Curved Options

Peak Surgicals provides both Straight and Curved choices for this product. These configurations allow buyers to select the working profile required for their surgical instrument set.

A straight configuration provides a direct working axis, while a curved configuration provides an angled approach to the clamping area. Final selection should depend on operative access and surgeon preference.

Locking Ratchet Ring Handles

The current product description specifically confirms a locking ratchet on the ring handles. The ring handles provide manual control when opening and closing the forceps, while the ratchet allows the selected closure position to be maintained without continuous hand pressure.

Before surgical use, the handles and locking mechanism should be inspected to confirm smooth operation and reliable engagement and release.

Temporary Blood Vessel Control

Peak Surgicals identifies the Crile Artery Forceps primarily for temporarily stopping blood flow in larger blood vessels during general surgery. This places the instrument within the hemostatic clamp category used when temporary vessel control is required within the operative field.

The amount of clamping pressure, placement location, and duration of use should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the vessel, tissue, and surgical procedure.

General Surgery Application

The current Peak Surgicals listing specifically references general surgical procedures. Crile Artery Forceps may be incorporated into surgical instrument sets where a locking vessel clamp is required for temporary hemostatic control.

The live product page does not specify particular procedures, vessel diameters, or tissue types beyond its general vessel-control application, so those details should not be assumed.

Premium Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel

The current product description specifies premium surgical-grade stainless steel construction. The metallic design provides the rigid structure required for a manually operated locking surgical forceps.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific steel designation or supporting material documentation should confirm that information before ordering.

Instrument Inspection and Handling

Before use, the working ends, handles, joint, and ratchet should be inspected for alignment, deformation, corrosion, restricted movement, or visible surface damage that could interfere with normal instrument operation.

The current product page does not provide exact jaw dimensions, jaw serration details, box-lock specifications, sterilization parameters, or stainless-steel alloy grade. These specifications should therefore be confirmed separately when they are required for purchasing or procedural compatibility.

Product Specifications

For Hospitals and Surgical Instrument Procurement

The Crile Artery Forceps are relevant for hospitals, general surgery departments, operating rooms, surgical centers, medical instrument distributors, and procurement teams sourcing locking hemostatic forceps.

For accurate purchasing and inventory identification, buyers can reference SKU PS-RS-0018 and specify the required 14 cm or 16 cm length together with the Straight or Curved configuration. Buyers requiring exact jaw dimensions, serration pattern, stainless-steel alloy grade, or other detailed working-end specifications should confirm those details before ordering.
