Scudder Intestinal clamp smooth cvd 33cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic temporary occlusion of intestinal lumen during abdominal procedures. Commonly used to isolate segments of small or large bowel during resection, anastomosis, enterotomy repair or when controlling spillage of enteric contents. The smooth jaw surface minimizes mucosal crushing while maintaining sufficient seal to permit safe handling and surgical field control.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry places the jaws in line with the bowel when working deep in the abdomen or pelvis, improving access and visibility around fixed mesenteric attachments. At 33 cm overall length, the reach enables surgeons to work across larger cavities or through small incisions while keeping hands and instruments clear of the operative site. Smooth, atraumatic jaw faces distribute pressure along the bowel wall to reduce tissue injury; a locking ratchet secures the clamp at the chosen tension for reliable occlusion during suturing or stapling.
