Clinical Application
Designed to provide atraumatic occlusion and controlled manipulation of bronchial tissue during thoracic operations. The instrument is used to temporarily clamp bronchi during lobectomy, pneumonectomy, bronchial stump preparation, airway repair, and other procedures where secure yet tissue-preserving occlusion is required. The length and jaw design allow the operator to reach and isolate airway segments deep within the thoracic cavity while maintaining tactile control for delicate dissection or suturing steps.
Design & Configuration
The long-shank geometry provides extended reach into the chest cavity, reducing the need for excessive retraction or repositioning. Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism permit incremental closure and secure maintenance of clamp pressure without continuous manual force. DeBakey-style jaws feature longitudinal, atraumatic serrations that distribute pressure along the tissue surface to minimize crush injury to the bronchial mucosa while maintaining reliable occlusion. This combination of reach, locking control, and atraumatic jaw pattern supports precise placement and handling in confined thoracic spaces.
