Clinical Application
Designed for use in hysterectomy and related gynecologic procedures, this instrument is intended to securely clamp uterine vessels, pedicles and surrounding soft tissue to achieve temporary hemostasis during dissection and ligation. The atraumatic jaw profile reduces crush injury to tissue, making it suitable for both open abdominal and vaginal approaches where controlled vessel occlusion and careful tissue handling are required.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides a direct line of approach for pelvic access and improves control when working in the midline or along the vaginal cuff. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach into the pelvic cavity while maintaining tactile feedback. The atraumatic jaws distribute clamping force across a broader surface to minimize localized tissue damage. A secure ratchet/box-lock mechanism ensures consistent closure pressure for reliable temporary vessel occlusion during ligation or suture placement.
