Max Plus HYSTERCTOMY CLAMPS  are specialized surgical instruments used during hysterectomy procedures, which involve the surgical removal of the uterus. These clamps are crucial for controlling blood flow by securely grasping and compressing blood vessels.
Key Features:
Strong Jaws: Hysterectomy clamps have robust jaws designed to effectively clamp and compress large blood vessels.
Serrated or Toothed Jaws: The jaws are often serrated or toothed to provide a secure grip on the vessels, preventing slippage.
Straight or Curved Jaws: Depending on the specific surgical approach and anatomical considerations, surgeons may use straight or curved clamps.
Various Sizes and Shapes: Hysterectomy clamps come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate various vessel sizes and surgical needs.
Ratchet Mechanism: Many hysterectomy clamps have a ratchet mechanism that allows them to lock in place, maintaining a secure grip on the vessel.
Uses:
Hysterectomy clamps are primarily used during hysterectomy procedures to:
Clamp Uterine Vessels: To control blood flow to and from the uterus by clamping the uterine arteries and veins.
Clamp Supporting Ligaments: To secure and clamp the ligaments that support the uterus before they are cut.
Prevent Bleeding: To minimize blood loss during the procedure by effectively clamping off blood vessels.
Important Considerations:
Sterilization: Like all surgical instruments, hysterectomy clamps must be properly sterilized before each use to prevent infections.
Proper Use: Requires training and experience to avoid damaging delicate tissues or blood vessels during hysterectomy procedures.
Variety: Surgeons must choose the appropriate size and shape of clamps based on the specific patient anatomy and surgical approach.
