Clinical Application
Provides controlled temporary occlusion of the stomach and proximal gastrointestinal tract during open surgical procedures such as gastrostomy, partial gastrectomy, wedge resection, and gastric anastomosis. The clamp is used to isolate a segment of stomach to minimize spillage of luminal contents, maintain a bloodless field in the operative site, and stabilize tissue for precise dissection or suturing.
Design & Configuration
The twin-jaw geometry distributes compressive force across a broad contact area to reduce focal crushing of tissue while maintaining secure occlusion. The 30 cm shaft length positions the surgeon's hands away from the field, improving access in deep or crowded abdominal exposures. A ratchet locking mechanism permits sustained closure at a chosen tension, freeing an assistant's hands and allowing steady, reproducible occlusion during anastomosis or resection.
