Clinical Application
Used to provide temporary occlusion of intestinal segments during open gastrointestinal procedures, this straight 25 cm clamp is intended to isolate bowel, limit spillage of luminal contents, and facilitate safe resection and anastomosis. Its length is suited for access into the deeper abdomen and pelvis while maintaining control at the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft delivers a direct line of approach for controlled clamping on long bowel segments or in confined operative windows. A ratchet locking mechanism secures consistent occlusive pressure without continuous manual force, supporting efficient tissue handling during suturing and staple placement. The jaw and shank geometry are optimized to balance secure lumen occlusion with distribution of compressive forces to minimize focal tissue trauma.
