Clinical Application
Designed for use in biliary surgery, this clamp provides secure temporary occlusion of the cystic duct and other small bile ducts during dissection, ligation and bile-duct exploration. It is used to control bile flow and reduce the risk of intraoperative contamination or leakage while the surgeon applies definitive clips or sutures. The 23 cm length gives reach into the hepatobiliary triangle and deeper operative fields encountered in open procedures.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth jaw configuration offers a focused interlocking grip that resists slippage on tubular ductal tissue while distributing compressive force to minimize crush injury. A ratchet-style locking handle allows the surgeon to maintain consistent occlusion without continual manual pressure, freeing the assistant and improving operative efficiency. The overall geometry and length are chosen to balance reach and tactile control in standard open biliary cases.
