Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic occlusion of intestinal segments during open abdominal procedures. Commonly used to isolate bowel proximal and distal to a resection site, reduce enteric spillage during anastomosis, and maintain a clear field when mobilizing or repairing small or large intestine. The clamp's geometry enables placement on delicate bowel without crushing mesentery or compromising tissue margins, helping to limit contamination and facilitate precise resection.
Design & Configuration
The instrument uses long, parallel jaws that distribute compressive force evenly along the bowel wall to occlude lumen while minimizing focal ischemia. A ratchet locking mechanism and box-lock hinge allow secure, adjustable closure for sustained occlusion without continuous manual compression. The overall length supports placement both near and away from the operative site, giving the surgeon flexibility in exposure and retraction during intestinal procedures.
