Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic clamping and handling of bowel during open abdominal procedures. Commonly used to create a temporary occlusion proximal and distal to a segment of intestine for resection, anastomosis, stoma formation, or to isolate a contaminated segment while preserving serosal integrity. The atraumatic jaw geometry minimizes crushing and reduces risk of ischemic injury to fragile intestinal tissue.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's elongated 25 cm length provides reach into the abdominal cavity while maintaining control at the handle. Atraumatic, fenestrated jaws distribute clamping pressure across the bowel wall to protect the serosa and reduce tissue trauma. A ratcheted locking handle secures the clamp at the desired occlusive force for hands-free control during suturing or resection. The overall geometry facilitates precise positioning and gentle occlusion without compromising the luminal seal.
