Clinical Application
Used to occlude and gently manipulate small and large bowel during open abdominal and gastrointestinal procedures. The atraumatic jaw geometry provides secure temporary lumen occlusion for segmental resections, anastomosis, enterotomy control, stoma formation and mobilization of intestinal loops while minimizing serosal crushing and tissue injury.
Design & Configuration
The long 23 cm length gives extended reach into the abdominal cavity while maintaining control and visibility at the operative field. Broad, atraumatic jaws distribute clamping force over a larger surface area to reduce focal pressure on the bowel wall. The Doyen pattern is configured to allow reliable occlusion without shear or sharp teeth, preserving tissue integrity during manipulation. Ergonomic shank geometry facilitates secure handling and fine adjustment during delicate steps of intestinal surgery.
