Product Overview
The Glassman Resection Clamp is a specialized, heavy-duty gastrointestinal instrument. It is distinguished by its long, non-crushing jaws featuring specialized atraumatic serrations (often double-rowed or longitudinal). This design is critical during gastrectomies or bowel resections, as it allows the surgeon to occlude the lumen and stabilize the organ without causing permanent ischemic damage to the delicate mucosal or serosal layers.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Guard” Atraumatic Jaws: The interior of the jaws is engineered with a specialized “Glassman” serration pattern. This provides a high-friction, non-slip grip that distributes pressure evenly across the stomach wall, preventing the “crushing” effect of standard vascular clamps.
-
Extended Working Length: Features long, slender shanks and elongated jaws, providing the reach necessary to bridge the entire width of the stomach or a distended loop of the large intestine.
-
Precision Ratchet Lock: Equipped with a multi-step, heavy-duty ratchet mechanism. This allows the surgeon to apply graduated tension, ensuring the clamp stays locked in place during the critical stages of resection or suturing.
-
Reinforced Box Joint: Built with a high-tensile joint to ensure that the long jaws remain perfectly parallel under load, eliminating tip-crossing or “scissoring” when clamping thick gastric tissue.
-
Deep-Field Ergonomics: The handles are designed to provide maximum leverage while maintaining a slim profile, ensuring the instrument does not obstruct the operative view in deep abdominal corridors.
