Clinical Application
Designed for intraoperative grasping and sustained holding, this long-shank holding clamp is used when a controlled, secure grip is required away from the operator’s hands. Common uses include stabilizing tissue or surgical materials, maintaining traction on suture lines or grafts, and temporarily holding small implants or prosthetic components during placement. Its length is particularly useful for access into deeper wounds, small cavities, and confined operative fields where hand access is limited.
Design & Configuration
The extended 23 cm shank provides reach into deep or narrow operative sites while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the field. Ring handles give precise control and facilitate fine manipulation, and an integrated locking mechanism enables sustained clamping without continuous manual pressure. A slender shaft and carefully proportioned jaw geometry reduce obstruction in the operative field and allow effective alignment of held tissues or materials.
