Hemostats were originally invented for use in surgery to clap of veins or arteries during surgery, to prevent excessive blood loss. Today they have many other uses as well. They can be used with intravenous tubing, to clamp off the supply temporarily, as well as uses in hobbies and crafting. This hemostat, though small, is just as strong and useful as it's larger counterparts. You'll find dozens of uses for this hand tool.

This hemostat is 3-1/2 inches long and weighs 0.6 ounces
