During a minor surgical procedure, the healthcare provider asks you to hand them an instrument for clamping blood vessels to stop bleeding. Which of the following instruments should you provide?
Hemostats are the correct instrument to provide when a healthcare provider asks for an instrument to clamp blood vessels. Hemostats are specifically designed to control bleeding by clamping blood vessels. Needle holders are used to hold needles during suturing, while scalpels are used for cutting tissue, and tweezers are used for grasping small objects, none of which are appropriate for clamping blood vessels.
