We all know that a Hemostat is primarily used to smoke a joint.

2025 will mark 50 years that I have been an activist for the legalization of cannabis. I first joined NORML as a college freshman, and I've written letters and called Congress people for decades. I still can't believe I settled in freakin' Texas!

I have heard of cauterizing an area of a wound to stop bleeding, but not the clamp.

elf, Kelly's are just one size of hemostat. They come in different sizes with different names. E.q. Mosquito is a very small one
Mark
Ellie, Actually, it's not a needle holder. A needle holder has fine cross-hatched grooves etched into the jaws so it holds the needle at any angle. A hemostat has horizontal grooves in the jaw - the needle would only be oriented 90 degrees to the jaws and would tend to twist in them.

Who is doing your math questions? Beyond the 4th or 5th level, they are only giving wrong answers!

Very popular with Second World War era military medics and with surgeons of both the 1930s and 1940s onwards.

a hemostat is used to clamp blood vessels so that they don't bleed out. hema means blood

MD, as long as you get your greens one way or the other.

elf, that depends on the serration pattern.

Rev Dok BMH 1, I don't understand the thumbs down, are people pro-tick & pro-roach?
MD
