Price-Thomas Bronchus Clamp 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for thoracic surgical procedures that require controlled temporary occlusion of bronchial structures. Common applications include lobectomy, pneumonectomy, sleeve resection, and bronchial repair where proximal control of the airway is needed to prevent air leak, facilitate stapling or suturing, and maintain a bloodless field. The instrument provides reliable clamping of bronchial tissue while enabling the surgeon to maintain tactile feedback and positional control.

Design & Configuration

The long 22 cm shaft provides reach into the thoracic cavity and mediastinum while preserving working space for staplers and sutures. A ratcheted handle secures the jaws at the desired closure pressure for stable occlusion during critical steps of resection or repair. The jaw profile is configured to occlude bronchial tissue evenly to reduce localized crushing and to support temporary isolation of the airway. The overall hand-held form factor is optimized for single-handed placement and controlled release.
