Scissors hold

A scissors hold is a medical technique used to control bleeding by compressing a blood vessel with two instruments that act like scissors. The tools are positioned around the vessel and squeezed to apply constant pressure, temporarily stopping blood flow. This method is often used during surgeries or emergency situations to manage bleeding until more definitive treatment can be provided. It allows for precise, controlled compression without damaging surrounding tissues, making it an effective and safe way to control hemorrhage when direct pressure isn't sufficient.
