First, let me say that I did not receive Prestige Medical hemostats. Thus I gave the item a neutral rating, since I cannot really speak to the item listed. The hemostats I received were poor quality with tool marks and scratches everywhere; very crude production. They have "Pakistan" poorly stamped on them and no indication that they are stainless steel anywhere. These were ordered from BP Medical through Amazon.com. I ordered another item from them (ADC Medicut 7 1/4" shears) which were also a cheap generic knock-off. When confronted, the seller refunded the other item to me, and told me to keep it as a gift. No mention of the hemostats. Out of an order of 3 items, two were knock-offs, so be wary of ordering from BP Medical.

That being said, the item I received functions ok, they are surprisingly tight considering how poorly they are finished. Definitely not medical grade stuff.

I don't do surgery...but I am a guitarist and this takes the pain out of all those crazy repairs which used to require a "death mantis kill-pinch" grip to get things back in place. So for THAT purpose, this is a 5 star item. Wouldn't use for experimenting on the neighbor's rooster though...

Product was not as I expected. It's not a precision hemostat, pieces are loose, it has a lot of areas where it was ground with a coarse grinding wheel, tip of clamp is only area that secures properly, insufficient for paper items, its just okay.

This is just what I needed to restring a doll, You need to have the elastic held tight, and this did it without having another person here to help me. Liked the curved part.

The product arrived on time and in good condition. There were some little scratches on the product that i was unaware of but it didn't bother me too much!

These are great for maneuvering small objects in close quarters. I use them all the time in computer cases to move jumpers. The curve really helps get things to go in straight instead of an angle.
