Clinical Application
This straight delivery clamp is engineered for use in neonatal and pediatric deliveries and related procedures where precise, secure clamping of small-diameter tissues or structures is required. Common applications include clamping the umbilical cord during initial neonatal management and providing temporary occlusion of small vessels or tissues in neonatal and pediatric surgical settings. The instrument's length and slim profile help maintain a clear operative field in small patients.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry delivers direct, inline compression suitable for cord and vessel occlusion without the angulation that can obstruct the operating field. At 14.5 cm overall length, the instrument provides enough reach for neonatal and pediatric anatomy while remaining short and maneuverable for confined spaces. A ratcheting handle (standard on delivery-type clamps) permits a secure, locked hold during ligation or transfer to ligature, reducing the need for repeated repositioning.

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability through repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. The instrument is fabricated with a slim, low-mass profile to minimize bulk in neonatal and pediatric trays while maintaining the strength required for secure clamping.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
