Clinical Application
Used to provide secure temporary occlusion of flexible medical tubing (IV lines, drain tubing, suction tubing, catheters) and for gentle control of small vessels during procedures. The serrated jaws maintain positive grip on silicone or PVC tubing to prevent inadvertent flow while minimizing crush damage when used appropriately.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features ring handles with a ratchet-locking mechanism to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous manual force. The 15.5 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile control for bedside, operative, and procedural settings. Serrated jaw faces increase friction against tubing to reduce slippage, while the standard Murphy-style geometry enables quick single-handed application and release.
