Crile and Kelly

The idea
Crile and Kelly clamps are two common hemostats with similar uses and similar looks.
In practice
The Crile is a standard non-toothed hemostat, often called a snap; the Kelly is a larger variation used to secure bleeders before they are tied or sealed.
Where people slip
Because they look alike, sets keep them in labelled order, and the surgeon's request decides which one is passed.
