Sklar Gregory Stay Suture Clamp, Straight
A straight, smooth jaw Sklar Gregory stay suture clamp, 3-1/2 inches, used to hold stay sutures in place during surgical procedures.
The Sklar Gregory Stay Suture Clamp is a 3-1/2 inch straight instrument with a smooth jaw, designed to hold a stay suture in place once it has been placed in tissue, keeping it under gentle tension without slipping or cutting the thread. Stay sutures are commonly used to retract or stabilize tissue at the edges of an incision during a procedure, and a dedicated clamp like this lets the surgical team secure multiple stay sutures around the surgical field so tension can be maintained hands free.
The smooth jaw surface holds the suture material securely while minimizing the risk of fraying or cutting it, which a serrated or toothed jaw could otherwise cause. This pattern is offered by Sklar across four combinations of length and curvature, spanning 3-1/2 and 4-3/4 inch sizes in both straight and curved versions, giving surgical teams options suited to different incision configurations.
General and specialty surgeons use stay suture clamps like this whenever multiple stay sutures need to be managed during a procedure.
