HEMOSTATIC CLAMP [11 records]

Record 1 2010-09-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Forceps with a catch for locking the blades, used for seizing the end of a blood vessel to control hemorrhage.

OBS

The main purpose [of hemostatic forceps] is to achieve hemostasis (control of the flow of blood). After a hemostat has been secured to a blood vessel, generally either a suture is tied around the vessel or electrocautery is applied to the end of the vessel to achieve final hemostasis.

OBS

Dissecting hemostatic forceps clamp onto blood vessels and control bleeding. They... tend to be long and slender in order to get to blood vessels easily and with a minimum of trauma. [They] resemble scissors and have locking mechanisms that maintain a firm clamp on blood vessels, holding them in place.

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
DEF

Pince à crans d'arrêt servant à l'hémostase.

OBS

Le premier usage de la pince à hémostase est de permettre par une préhension fine la ligature d'un vaisseau ou sa coagulation par le bistouri électrique. Elle est aussi un bon complément dans le repérage et la mise en tension des tissus au cours de la dissection, sur une aponévrose, un sac herniaire, une vaginale d'hydrocèle. Enfin, [elle sert de] pince repère sur les fils passés et en attente [...]

Uses: Instrument for grasping delicate tissues, organs and vessels. Widely used in cardiovascular surgery, however, also used in other surgical procedures.

OBS

Pioneered by and named after Dr. Michael Ellis DeBakey, the DeBakey pattern is used in a wide variety of surgical instruments including but not limited to clamps and forceps. DeBakey tissue forceps are very commonly used in a variety of procedures. They have atraumatic jaws with the standard DeBakey pattern filed in the tips. Used for grasping blood vessels and fine tissue especially in cardio procedures.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

A curved hemostat without teeth, introduced for gynecological surgery.

OBS

Proper Name: Kelly Hemostatic Forceps. ... Features: horizontal serrations; straight or curved. Uses: Occlusion of vessels and some blunt dissection.

OBS

These remarkable devices [Kelly Forceps], each of which features a two-position locking device in the handle, provide a surgeon with a virtual third hand with their unique ability to firmly grip tissue without trauma or damage. ... Any Kelly Forceps ... can clamp safely onto tissues with ease and speed and proceed with tending to your patient. ... Slightly heavier than Mosquito forceps, Kelly hemostats feature box lock joints and serrated jaws that can safely and precisely clamp a blood vessel with a number of pressures.

OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as in "Kelly's forceps", often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written forms "Kelly forceps", "Kelly clamp" and "Kelly hemostatic forceps"are also found. Named after the American doctor Howard Kelly.
