Product Overview
Kelly hemostatic forceps are one of the fundamental instruments of surgical and prehospital medicine. Named after Dr. Howard Atwood Kelly, the Kelly hemostat's design — serrated jaws with only the distal half serrated, ring-handle grip, and ratchet locking mechanism — makes it the go-to instrument for clamping blood vessels larger than a mosquito clamp can handle but not requiring the full jaw depth of a Kocher or Rochester-Carmalt forceps. In tactical emergency medicine, hemostats serve primarily for grasping and clamping vascular structures encountered during wound exploration, surgical airway procedures, or field surgical interventions.
The serrated blunt-tipped jaws of the MED-TAC Kelly Hemostats provide grip on heavy tissue without blade penetration, while the ratchet ring lock holds the clamp closed hands-free — freeing the provider's hands for other tasks while the hemostat maintains its hold. At 5.5 inches, the straight Kelly is the versatile standard in tactical medical kits: long enough for meaningful reach in a wound cavity, compact enough for storage in instrument rolls and kit pouches. Hemostats also serve as wire holders, needle holders in pinch, and general tissue manipulation instruments when surgical options are limited.
