Sklar Lees Bronchus Clamp for Thoracic Surgery

The Sklar Lees bronchus clamp is a specialised surgical clamp used in thoracic surgery to occlude the bronchus, helping the surgical team control airflow or isolate a section of the airway during procedures involving the lungs or bronchial structures. Its jaws are designed to apply firm, even pressure across the bronchus without causing excessive trauma, which matters when working with delicate airway tissue that needs to remain functional after the clamp is released.

Thoracic surgeons rely on bronchus clamps during procedures such as lung resection, where temporary control of the airway is necessary to manage the surgical field safely and effectively. As a Sklar branded surgical instrument, it reflects a standard of manufacturing associated with reliable, precision built surgical steel tools designed for demanding operative use.

Being a reusable stainless steel instrument, the clamp is cleaned, inspected and sterilized between cases following standard surgical instrument protocols, and it typically forms part of a dedicated thoracic or cardiothoracic surgery instrument set used in hospitals performing lung and airway surgery.
