Where are Spencer Wells Artery Forceps Used?

Spencer Wells Artery Forceps are indispensable instruments in the surgical theatre, designed to provide utmost precision and control during operations. Here's where they're typically utilised:

  • Hemostasis during Surgery: Their primary role is in staunching bleeding by adeptly clamping off blood vessels, ensuring surgeries progress with minimal blood loss.
  • Temporary Occlusion: For surgeries that require a bloodless field or specific procedures that demand a temporary halt in blood flow, these forceps are the go-to tool.
  • Suturing Assistance: Once a blood vessel has been ligated or cut, surgeons can rely on these forceps to hold it steady while they suture, ensuring a secure closure.
  • Tissue Handling: Beyond just blood vessels, these forceps are versatile enough to grasp tissues, although specific tissue-handling forceps might be chosen based on the procedure's intricacies.

The Versatility of Celox Granules in Wound Care

Military-icon-80px

Tailored for High-Risk Scenarios

Celox Haemostatic Granules are primarily designed for use in high-risk, life-threatening situations where rapid bleeding control is crucial. They have demonstrated effectiveness in managing severe bleeding, be it from a traumatic injury or in a surgical setting. This makes them an invaluable addition to first-aid kits for environments such as hospitals, emergency medical services, military combat zones, and other high-risk scenarios.

Using Celox for Complex and Irregular Wounds

Traditional methods of stopping bleeding can be ineffective on irregularly shaped or puncture wounds. Celox Haemostatic Granules, on the other hand, excel in such scenarios.

Wipe-icon-80px-transparent

Removing Celox Post-Application: An Easy Process

The convenience of Celox doesn't stop at the application. Once the bleeding has been controlled, and professional medical attention is available, the granules can be easily removed. The granules are designed to form a gel-like clot that adheres to the wound surface. This clot can be gently rinsed or wiped away with sterile water or saline solution, leaving no residue and minimising any discomfort during the cleaning process.
