hemostats
Hemostats are medical tools used to control bleeding during surgical procedures. They work by clamping or compressing blood vessels or tissues to stop the flow of blood. Typically resembling a pair of scissors, hemostats come in various shapes and sizes, allowing surgeons to access different areas of the body. By temporarily preventing blood loss, hemostats help ensure that the surgical site remains stable, making it easier for doctors to work effectively and safely. Once the procedure is complete, the hemostats are removed, and natural healing processes take over to close any remaining wounds.
