Hemostats are small, clamp-like tools primarily used in medical settings to control bleeding by compressing blood vessels. They function similarly to pliers but have a locking mechanism, allowing them to securely hold onto small objects. Beyond medical use, hemostats are incredibly versatile for everyday tasks such as fishing (for removing hooks), crafting (holding small sewing needles), and even small repairs (clamping objects together temporarily. To use hemostats, simply grip the item, then slide the locking mechanism to secure it in place. This creates a hands-free grip, making it easy to handle delicate work with precision and stability.
