Clinical Application
Designed for temporary occlusion of intestinal segments during open abdominal procedures, this instrument permits controlled isolation of bowel proximal and distal to a resection, anastomosis or enterotomy. The broad jaw surface distributes clamping force to reduce focal tissue compression, helping limit luminal contamination and facilitating a dry field while the surgeon performs resection, staple application, or suturing.
Design & Configuration
The Mikulicz pattern features long shanks to provide reach into the abdominal cavity and broad, slightly curved jaws that conform to the bowel wall. A positive locking mechanism allows the clamp to be held at a consistent tension without continuous manual force, enabling assistants to retract or hold other instruments. The jaw geometry focuses occlusive force across a wide area to minimize localized trauma while maintaining effective luminal closure.
