Sklar Herrick Kidney Clamp, 9 Inch
A 9 inch Sklar Herrick kidney clamp, used by urologists to gently occlude renal vessels or tissue during kidney surgical procedures.
The Sklar Herrick Kidney Clamp is a 9 inch instrument designed to gently occlude renal vessels or hold kidney tissue during urologic and renal surgical procedures. The jaw is built to apply controlled, even pressure suited to the relatively delicate tissue of the kidney and its blood supply, since a clamp designed for tougher tissue elsewhere in the body could cause unnecessary injury if used on renal structures.
Urologists performing partial or radical nephrectomy, or other renal surgery, use clamps like this to control bleeding or isolate a portion of the kidney during the procedure. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Herrick pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use as part of a urology or renal surgery instrument set, typically kept alongside other vascular and tissue clamps suited to different steps of kidney surgery.
