Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled temporary occlusion of intestinal lumens during open gastrointestinal procedures. Common uses include bowel resections, segmental excisions, preparation for anastomosis, stoma formation, and controlling luminal contents to reduce contamination during enteric surgery. The crushing action approximates and compresses the bowel wall to prevent spillage while allowing the surgeon to transect or repair the segment distal or proximal to the clamp.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s crushing jaw geometry is intended to apply uniform transverse pressure across the bowel wall, producing a reliable occlusion without cutting. The incorporated pin locking mechanism secures the clamp in the closed position for sustained occlusion without reliance on a ratchet, simplifying release and repositioning. At 21 cm length the clamp balances reach and tactile control for open abdominal exposure, giving the operator leverage while maintaining visibility at the operative field.
