Clinical Application
Designed for use in neonatal and pediatric delivery and peri‑neonatal procedures, this straight delivery clamp provides controlled occlusion of small vessels and the umbilical cord and is useful for temporary tissue control in the nursery, delivery suite or pediatric operating room. Its compact length and narrow profile make it appropriate for delicate anatomy where standard adult clamps would be oversized.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry offers direct alignment with the operator’s line of sight and simplifies placement on short pedicles or the umbilical cord. A Figure 6 pattern denotes a compact profile suited to small hands and confined operative fields. The instrument includes a ratchet locking mechanism to maintain consistent, locked occlusion without continual manual pressure—important when working with fragile neonatal tissues or when a secure clamp must be held while attention is directed elsewhere.
