Fenestrated Jaw

A Fenestrated Jaw refers to the design feature of a surgical clamp or forceps where the gripping surfaces (jaws) contain openings or “fenestrations.” These holes reduce the instrument’s weight, allow fluids or tissues to pass through, and can provide a more secure, less slippery grip on tissues or vessels. This design is common in various atraumatic clamps (e.g., some bowel clamps) and tissue forceps, enhancing functionality by combining secure holding power with reduced tissue trauma and better fluid management during surgery.

Key Features:

• Jaws contain openings (fenestrations) to reduce weight and allow fluid egress.

• Provides a secure grip with reduced slippage on tissues, vessels, or organs.

• Commonly found in atraumatic intestinal clamps and some tissue forceps.

• Helps minimize crush injury by distributing pressure more evenly.

• Allows blood or irrigation fluid to escape from the gripped area.

• Enhances the utility and effectiveness of various surgical grasping instruments.
