Sklar Payr Pylorus Clamp, Available in 3 Lengths
A pylorus clamp from Sklar used to gently occlude the stomach during gastric surgery, available in three lengths from 8 to 13 inches for different cases.
The Sklar Payr Pylorus Clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude the pylorus, the outlet of the stomach, during gastric surgery, controlling stomach contents while a resection or other procedure is carried out nearby. The clamp is designed to hold this area of the stomach securely enough to prevent leakage while still limiting trauma to the gastric wall, a consideration that matters for successful healing along a nearby suture line.
This listing is available in three lengths, 8, 11 and 13 inches, giving the surgical team a choice matched to the patient's anatomy and the specific step of the procedure being performed. General and upper gastrointestinal surgeons use clamps of this pattern during gastrectomy, bariatric and other stomach procedures wherever the pylorus needs to be temporarily controlled.
Hospitals with an active upper GI or bariatric surgery service typically keep a range of Payr clamp lengths in their gastric instrument sets.
