Sklar Mayo-Guyon Kidney Clamp, 9 Inch
A specialised clamp used to grasp renal tissue and vascular structures securely during kidney and renal surgical procedures.
The Sklar Mayo-Guyon Kidney Clamp is used in renal surgery to grasp and control the kidney or structures within the renal pedicle, including the vessels and ureter, during procedures such as nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy. A secure, well distributed grip is important in this setting because the pedicle contains major blood vessels, so the clamp needs to hold firmly enough to control bleeding without applying dangerously concentrated pressure to any single vessel.
Urologists and general surgeons operating in the retroperitoneum use this instrument as part of a dedicated renal surgery set, typically alongside vascular clamps and ligation instruments suited to the same procedures. It measures 9 inches overall, giving the reach needed for retroperitoneal access.
This listing is a single configuration. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and intended for repeated cleaning and sterilisation between cases, given its use around major vascular structures.
