Kelly Rankin Artery Forcep 16 cm / 6-1/4" Curved

The Kelly Rankin Artery Forcep, 16 cm / 6-1/4" curved, combines the extended reach of the Rankin pattern with a curved tip. This combination is well suited to abdominal work. The length allows the jaws to reach a deeper pedicle or vessel while the hand remains outside the incision, and the curve permits the tip to be passed around the structure rather than requiring a direct straight approach.

Once applied, the curved body of the instrument also sits away from the veterinary surgeon's line of sight, which is a practical advantage when several clamps are in place simultaneously. The jaws are slim and serrated over the distal portion, and the ratchet holds the clamp during ligation. Where a practice holds only one Rankin pattern, the curved version is generally the more versatile choice, though many veterinary surgical packs include both to accommodate the presentation of the vessel.

Which Rankin pattern is more versatile?

The curved version is generally more versatile, although many packs include both to suit the presentation of the vessel.

Why is the curve useful at depth?

It allows the tip to pass around the structure and keeps the instrument body clear of the veterinary surgeon's view.
