Colon Clamp
A Colon Clamp is a robust, atraumatic surgical clamp specifically designed for occluding and handling the large intestine (colon) during abdominal and colorectal procedures. It features long, curved jaws with longitudinal serrations or a fine cross-hatch pattern that securely grasps the thick, muscular bowel wall without causing crush injury or necrosis. This allows for safe temporary occlusion to prevent spillage of intestinal contents and provides control during resection and anastomosis.
Key Features:
-
Long, curved jaws designed to fit around and occlude the diameter of the colon.
-
Atraumatic serrations provide a secure hold without compromising bowel viability.
-
Available in various lengths and tip designs (e.g., right angle) for deep pelvic access.
-
Often features a locking ratchet mechanism to maintain consistent, gentle pressure.
-
Essential for procedures like colectomy, hemicolectomy, and colorectal anastomosis.
-
Made from high-quality stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization.
