Clinical Application
Designed for temporary occlusion and isolation of bronchial tissue during thoracic surgery, this right-angle atraumatic clamp is used to control the airway and prevent contamination while performing lobectomy, pneumonectomy, bronchial repair or stump formation. It is intended to provide secure, controlled occlusion of bronchial segments without crushing delicate airway structures, facilitating safe dissection, transection, and anastomosis.
Design & Configuration
The right-angle geometry provides line-of-sight access to bronchi that are obscured by surrounding lung or mediastinal tissues, allowing the surgeon to approach the airway laterally or from deep within the thoracic cavity. The atraumatic jaw design distributes pressure across the clamped segment to minimize crush injury while maintaining adequate occlusion. A positive ratchet locking mechanism permits hands-free maintenance of occlusion at a selected tension, supporting precise bronchial repair or stapling maneuvers.
