Hayes Colon Resection Clamp Atrauma 70

Clinical Application

Designed for use in colorectal and general abdominal surgery to provide secure, atraumatic occlusion of the colon and small bowel during resection, mobilization, transection, and anastomosis. The instrument holds bowel segments proximal and distal to the operative site to reduce luminal spillage, control contamination, and facilitate stapling or suturing. It is intended for use in open colorectal procedures and other cases where temporary, gentle occlusion of intestinal tissue is required.

Design & Configuration

The atraumatic configuration features jaw surfaces shaped to distribute compressive force across a broader area of bowel, reducing point pressure and minimizing mucosal injury. A positive locking mechanism permits graduated, hands-free retention of tissue once the desired occlusion pressure is achieved, improving operative control. The instrument's shaft geometry provides access across the abdominal field so the surgeon can position clamps proximal and distal to the pathology while maintaining a low-profile working area for staplers or suturing instruments.
