Product Overview
Allis Clamp is a toothed grasping forceps used to hold and retract tough tissue during open surgical procedures. Its slightly rounded jaws with interlocking teeth provide firm purchase on fascia, bowel, and other dense tissue without slipping.
Design and Construction
The instrument has long, straight shanks with ring handles for controlled one handed use and a ratchet lock that maintains steady pressure. Its jaws are narrow and slightly rounded at the tips, with multiple teeth that improve grip on tissue edges. The working end is designed for secure traction during dissection, exposure, and tissue stabilization. The body is formed from rigid surgical grade metal for consistent alignment and dependable closure.
Surgical Applications
This clamp is used in general surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, gynecology, and abdominal procedures where firm tissue grasping is required. It supports bowel handling, fascial traction, wound edge control, and temporary tissue fixation during exploration or closure. The instrument is also used in procedures involving soft tissue dissection and retraction in operating rooms and procedure suites. It is suitable for open surgical fields where precise traction is needed on resilient tissue.
Sterilization and Maintenance
The clamp is compatible with steam sterilization in autoclave cycles and also supports ethylene oxide and validated chemical reprocessing workflows. After use, it requires thorough cleaning of the jaws, ratchet, and hinge area, followed by inspection for alignment, tooth wear, and smooth locking action.
Material and Build Quality
The instrument is manufactured from stainless steel with a polished corrosion resistant finish that supports repeated sterilization and long service life. The rigid construction preserves jaw alignment and provides the hardness needed for secure tissue grasping and durable ratchet engagement.
Recommended Settings
This instrument is used in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and inpatient surgical suites where open tissue handling is performed. It is also useful in emergency surgery, minor procedure rooms, and specialty clinics that require dependable grasping forceps for soft tissue control.
