Moynihan Clamp short jaws cvd 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for open surgical procedures where controlled, reliable grasping or sponge handling is required. The short, fenestrated jaws provide secure purchase on laparotomy sponges for packing and retraction, while allowing atraumatic handling of soft tissue and temporary control of small bleeding points. Commonly used in general surgery and gynecologic abdominal cases where workspace is confined and a precise grip is needed.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides improved approach angles around anatomic structures and into deeper cavities without requiring excessive tissue retraction. Short jaws concentrate gripping force at the tip, improving control when holding sponges or compressing small vessels. Fenestration in the jaws secures sponge material and reduces slippage during manipulation. The combination of curvature and shortened jaw length makes this pattern useful when visibility and fine control are priorities.
