Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic temporary occlusion of intestinal segments, these forceps are used to isolate bowel during resections, anastomoses, enterotomies and intra-abdominal exploration. The atraumatic jaw profile permits secure lumen control while minimizing tissue crush and preserving serosal integrity—important for reducing ischemic injury and facilitating subsequent suturing and handling.
Design & Configuration
The curved, long-bladed geometry follows the natural contour of bowel, allowing the surgeon to clamp along the length of a loop without kinking. Longitudinal serrations on the jaws distribute compressive force over a broader surface to reduce focal tissue trauma. A ratchet-style handle provides consistent, adjustable closure for secure occlusion during operative steps where hands-free control is required.
