Clinical Application
Designed to provide atraumatic, reliable occlusion of intestinal segments during open abdominal procedures. Commonly used during bowel resection, anastomosis, enterotomy, and other intestinal surgeries where temporary isolation of a lumen is required to control luminal contents and protect the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The straight 36 cm geometry provides extended reach for deeper abdominal and pelvic work while maintaining a controlled alignment between jaw faces. The Scudder pattern features occluding jaws configured to compress bowel without excessive shear, helping minimize tissue trauma while creating an effective seal. The length and straight profile facilitate handling in confined operative fields and allow the assistant or primary surgeon to position clamps precisely along the bowel.
