Clinical Application
Designed for thoracic surgery, this curved bronch clamp provides controlled, atraumatic temporary occlusion of bronchial tissue during procedures such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy, bronchial repair and bronchoplasty. Its length and curvature facilitate secure placement on the bronchus in open thoracotomy or chest exposure, enabling surgeons to isolate the airway, control air leak, and create a stable field for stapling or suturing the bronchial stump.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry aligns with the bronchial axis and chest wall, improving access to bronchial segments located deep within the pleural cavity. Atraumatic jaw surfaces reduce compression injury to bronchial mucosa while providing sufficient apposition to prevent air escape during intraoperative testing. The 24 cm overall length delivers working reach from the incision to central airways without excessive surgeon hand intrusion into the field.
