Hysterectomy and parametric clamps for doctor, clinic and hospital supplies

Hysterectomy Forceps and Parametrium Forceps: Precision and Safety in Gynecological Surgery

Hysterectomy forceps and parametrium forceps are specialized surgical instruments used in abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). These robust forceps are designed to ensure secure and precise handling of tissue without causing trauma. They play a critical role in the fixation and transection of ligaments, parametria, and blood vessels during the procedure. Their unique features make them indispensable tools in gynecological surgery.

Design and Features

• Curvature: The clamps are slightly curved forward to accommodate the anatomical conditions of the pelvis and provide better visibility of the surgical site.

• Serration: The jaws of the clamps feature diagonal and longitudinal serrations to prevent tissue slippage and ensure a secure grip. The longitudinal serrations are particularly gentle, while the diagonal serrations provide additional stability.

• Material: The clamps are made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and sterilizable, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability.

• Variants: Some models have two teeth at the end of the jaws for even more precise tissue fixation.

Areas of Application

• Hysterectomy Clamps: Used to fixate and transect the uterus and surrounding structures during abdominal hysterectomy.

• Parametrium Clamps: Used to securely hold and transect the parametrium (connective tissue around the uterus) and blood vessels to control bleeding.

Notable Examples: Wertheim Clamp and Moynihan Clamp

Among the most well-known and proven models are the Wertheim clamp and the Moynihan hysterectomy clamp. These instruments are renowned for their robustness, precision, and safety:

1. Wertheim Clamp:

   • Description: A robust clamp with strong diagonal and longitudinal serrations, specifically designed for radical hysterectomy.

   • Applications: Ideal for the fixation and transection of parametria and blood vessels.

   • Advantages: Secure grip and gentle tissue handling.

2. Moynihan Clamp:

   • Description: A slightly curved clamp with precise serrations, designed for abdominal hysterectomy.

   • Applications: Frequently used to fixate the uterus and surrounding structures.

   • Advantages: Minimal tissue trauma and precise control.

Clamping Forceps: Robust Hybrid Instruments

Clamping forceps are particularly robust and strong instruments that function as a hybrid between clamps and forceps. They are available in various designs, including cross-serrated, diagonally serrated, or non-serrated, depending on the application. These instruments enable powerful clamping and holding of tissue and are indispensable in many surgical disciplines.

Notable Examples: Heaney Clamping Forceps and Wertheim Clamping Forceps

Among the most well-known models are the Heaney clamping forceps and the Wertheim clamping forceps:

1. Heaney Clamping Forceps:

   • Description: A robust clamping forceps with strong serrations, specifically designed for gynecological surgery.

   • Applications: Ideal for the fixation and transection of ligaments and blood vessels.

   • Advantages: Secure grip and easy handling.

2. Wertheim Clamping Forceps:

   • Description: A versatile clamping forceps used in radical hysterectomy and other gynecological procedures.

   • Applications: Used to fixate parametria and blood vessels.

   • Advantages: Robust construction and precise control.
