Hemostats are a type of what?

Suture
Forcep
Scalpel
Needle

The correct answer is: Forcep

Hemostats are instruments used to control bleeding and are typically identified by their distinctive rings at the end. While sutures, scalpels, and needles can also be used for medical purposes, they are not the same as hemostats. Sutures are threads used to stitch cuts and incisions, scalpels are used to make precise cuts, and needles are used to deliver medication or extract body tissue. However, only forceps can be used as hemostats.
