A 6" curved mosquito artery forceps is a surgical tool primarily used to clamp and secure small, bleeding blood vessels like arterioles and capillaries, and to grasp delicate tissues. Its curved tip provides access to hard-to-reach areas, while its serrated, fine tips and ratcheted locking mechanism allow for a secure grip and consistent pressure without causing excessive trauma.

Clamping blood vessels:

The main function is to stop bleeding in small arteries by clamping them shut during surgery.

Grasping delicate tissues:

The fine, serrated tips provide a secure hold on fragile tissues without damaging them.

Manipulating sutures:

They can be used to grasp and manipulate sutures or disposable materials during a procedure.
