Clinical Application
Designed for precise occlusion of renal and other abdominal pedicles, this clamp is used to achieve temporary vascular control during nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, renal trauma management and related urologic or general surgical procedures. The curved geometry assists in encircling and compressing the renal pedicle while maintaining access and visibility in deep or confined operative fields.
Design & Configuration
The Herrick pattern provides a purpose-built jaw geometry and long shank that facilitate controlled clamping around the renal pedicle. The curved (cvd) shaft allows the jaws to approach the vessel bundle at an advantageous angle, helping the surgeon position the clamp around vascular structures while working around the kidney mass and surrounding tissue. A robust locking mechanism maintains secure occlusion throughout the operative step where temporary hemostasis is required.
