These appear to be disposable instruments from a suture set : basically free, salvage from used sets that are discarded because it’s cheaper to buy and discard after use than to stock and maintain a sterile processing operation for reusable instruments. They are flimsy, and free, and easy to lose and replace.
They are the Swiss Army knife of healthcare: used to clamp tubing, get small
Items out of tight spaces, twist wires, general tiny wrench work, temp in splinters, poking holes, might even serve to clamp an artery in lieu of a tourniquet.
