Sklar Pemberton Anastamosis Clamp, Angled, 9 Inch
An angled 9 inch anastamosis clamp from Sklar used to hold two segments of bowel in position during intestinal anastomosis surgical procedures.
The Sklar Pemberton Anastamosis Clamp is used during bowel surgery to hold two segments of intestine in the correct position and alignment while they are joined together during an anastomosis. The angled design of the clamp, measuring 9 inches, allows the surgeon to position it comfortably against the bowel while keeping their hands and other instruments clear of the immediate suturing or stapling site.
A stable, well aligned join is important to how well the two bowel ends heal together, so surgeons rely on a dedicated clamp of this type rather than improvising with a general purpose instrument during this step of the procedure. General and colorectal surgeons use anastamosis clamps like this during bowel resections, reconstructions and other procedures requiring a new intestinal connection.
Hospitals with an active general or colorectal surgery service typically keep this type of clamp as a standard component of their bowel surgery instrument set.
