Mosquito, Kelly or Crile?

A mosquito is smaller and finer than a Kelly or Crile, with serrations along the full jaw. Use a mosquito for small vessels and fine tissue; step up to a Kelly or Crile for medium vessels.

Halsted or Hartman?

Both are mosquitoes. Hartman is the shorter pattern (about 3½"). Halsted is the standard 5" mosquito.

Frequently asked questions

What are mosquito forceps used for? Clamping small bleeding vessels, and fine grasping in plastic, pediatric, dental, oral and veterinary surgery.

What do 1x2 teeth add? Teeth at the tip give a more secure grip on tissue, at the cost of being less gentle.

Why DeBakey jaws? DeBakey serrations are atraumatic, for clamping vessels you want to keep intact.
