These 5.5 inch (135mm) curved surgical hemostats are perfect for sewing and quilting. Use them to make pulling elastic, ribbon, or thread through casings easier as well as guide fabric folds with precision.
The 5.5" curved Roch. Pean. hemostat is a versatile tool for sewing, quilting, and fabric crafts, designed to make difficult threading and fabric manipulation tasks easier. The curved tips provide clearance for working around fabric folds, seams, and layers, while the extra length offers a firm grip on elastic, ribbon, or cording. Ideal for both professional tailors and home quilters, these curved sewing forceps simplify fabric handling, reduce frustration, and increase precision in detailed stitching projects.
We've been selling high quality hemostats (locking forceps) since 1999. Indigo™ hemostats are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" recovered from rusted cars. See "Documentation" for the Chemical Analysis Certificate.
Both straight and curved hemostats can serve a purpose in fabric work, but their handling differs. Curved jaws make it easier to guide elastic, ribbon, or thread around folds and through narrow casings without snagging the material. Straight jaws, by contrast, provide a firm, direct grip when pulling cords or working with thicker fabrics that require a steady line of pull. Many quilters and sewists keep a curved pair as their go-to tool but rely on straight versions when strength and leverage are needed.
