An atraumatic mosquito forceps 5" SRT (straight) is a small, precision surgical instrument primarily used for delicate tasks that require a secure, non-crushing grip. The term "atraumatic" means it's designed to minimize tissue damage, "mosquito" indicates its small size for fine procedures, and "SRT" stands for "straight". 

Hemostasis: The main function is to clamp small blood vessels to control bleeding during surgery. The ratcheted, self-locking mechanism allows a surgeon to maintain consistent pressure without continuous hand force.

Delicate tissue manipulation: The fine, serrated tips provide a secure grip for holding and moving fragile tissues during surgical procedures.

Suturing: The forceps can be used to hold fine sutures and assist in precise stitching.

Access in narrow spaces: The compact 5-inch length and slender jaws allow for excellent maneuverability and reach into confined or superficial surgical fields.

Foreign body removal: They can be used to extract small objects or debris from a wound.
