A hemostat (also called a hemostatic clamp; arterial forceps; and pean, after Jules-Émile Péan) is a tool used to control bleeding during surgery. [1] Similar in design to both pliers and scissors , it is used to clamp exposed blood vessels shut.
An external vascular closure device of radial artery following a cardiac catheterization. The device allows for gradual release of pressure over the puncture site, reducing patient discomfort, until closure is achieved. Prior to the development of VCD's, the main method for closing the femoral artery was manual compression.

Hemostasis occurs when blood is present outside of the body or blood vessels. It is the innate response for the body to stop bleeding and loss of blood. During hemostasis three steps occur in a rapid sequence. Vascular spasm is the first response as the blood vessels constrict to allow less blood to be lost.
The Pringle manoeuvre is more effective in preventing blood loss during liver surgery if central venous pressure is maintained at 5 mmHg or lower. This is due to the fact that Pringle manoeuver technique aims at controlling the blood inflow into the liver, having no effect on the outflow. [3]
Clamps (locking forceps) Clamps stabilize or hold tissue and objects in place. [21] They can be used for traumatic or atraumatic purposes. [21] (e.g., Crile hemostat, Kelly clamp, Kocher clamp) Surgical scissors. Tool for tissue cutting, dissection, and suture. [21] Straight and curved scissors are used for cutting different structures.
