- A heavy-duty surgical instrument designed for clamping large blood vessels and grasping dense, slippery tissues
Uses
- Hemostasis:
- Primary application is clamping major blood vessels to control blood flow and stop bleeding during surgery
- Tissue Manipulation:
- Used to grasp and hold tough or heavy tissues such as fascia, thick skin, or muscle
- Specialty Applications:
- Frequently used in Podiatry, Orthopedics, and Veterinary medicine for procedures requiring a robust grip
Features
- 1 x 2 Teeth:
- The tip has one tooth on one side that interlocks with two teeth on the other, ensuring the instrument does not slide off slippery tissue
- Curved, Serrated Jaws:
- The curved design improves visibility and maneuverability in deep or intricate surgical sites, while serrations provide additional surface friction
- Ratchet Lock:
- Features a multi-position locking mechanism that allows the surgeon to maintain consistent pressure without manual holding
- German Stainless Steel:
- Crafted from premium, O.R.-grade stainless steel for superior durability and corrosion resistance
- Ergonomic Handles:
- Standard finger-ring handles designed for precise control and a surgical "feel"
Benefits
- Superior Grip:
- The interlocking teeth provide a "locking" effect on tissue that standard hemostats lack, making them ideal for aggressive grasping
- Enhanced Visibility:
- The curved profile allows surgeons to see around the instrument while it is in use, which is critical in complex operations
- Longevity:
- Made from high-quality materials that are autoclavable and reusable, ensuring long-term utility in medical facilities
- Reduced Hand Fatigue:
- The ratchet lock maintains the clamp's position, allowing the surgeon to focus on other tasks during the procedure
