Clinical Application
Designed for temporary occlusion and atraumatic control of the bronchus during thoracic procedures. Common uses include isolation of the bronchial lumen during lobectomy, pneumonectomy, pulmonary resection, bronchial stump management, and control of localized airway bleeding. The atraumatic jaw interface helps compress the bronchus without crushing the airway wall, preserving tissue for secure stump closure or anastomosis.
Design & Configuration
The angled geometry provides improved access and visualization in deep or confined intrathoracic spaces, allowing the surgeon to approach the bronchus from oblique trajectories without excessive retraction. The atraumatic jaw design distributes clamping forces across a broader contact surface to reduce focal pressure points on delicate airway tissue. A locking mechanism secures the clamp position intraoperatively, maintaining occlusion while hands are free for dissection or suturing.
