Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure, temporary occlusion of flexible tubing in operative and procedural settings. Common uses include clamping intravenous lines, suction and drainage tubing, catheter tubing during insertion or removal, and isolating segments of tubing during line changes or flushing. Its locking action allows users to maintain occlusion hands-free while performing concurrent tasks.
Design & Configuration
The hemostat-style geometry with a ratchet locking mechanism permits controlled compression and sustained closure without continuous manual pressure. Serrated jaws improve grip on smooth, flexible tubing to reduce slippage while minimizing the risk of cutting through soft materials. At 18 cm overall length the instrument delivers balance between reach and tactile control for use in both tabletop and deeper operative fields.
