Wormald Hemorrhage Control Set

Hemorrhage control is a significant concern in anterior skull base surgery where vital structures are interconnected in a compact space. This set offers a comprehensive solution for hemorrhage control and repair.

Wormald Hemorrhage Control Set for Skull Base Surgery

Developed in conjunction with PJ Wormald, MD, FRACS, FRCS

Large vessel hemorrhages can severely inhibit visibility during endoscopic sinus and anterior skull base surgical procedures. The innovative MicroFrance® Wormald Hemorrhage Control Set addresses this challenge and offers remarkable visibility, access, and control. Instruments in this anterior skull base surgery set include a variety of clamps, clip-applying forceps, a rotatable needle holder, and an instrument tray.

Surgeons can use the Wormald Clamps to control a large vessel hemorrhage, enabling adequate visualization and sustainable blood flow during anterior skull base surgery. Once bleeding is controlled, the injury may be repaired with the Wormald Clip-Applying Forceps or Wormald Needle Holder.
