Product Overview
This Kelly clamp is a long, ring handled hemostatic forceps used for grasping, clamping, and controlling larger tissues or vessels during surgery. It supports hemostasis, blunt dissection, and temporary occlusion in open procedures where secure tissue control is required.
Design and Construction
The instrument has a straight, elongated shaft with ring handles and a ratchet lock for controlled closure. Its jaws are narrow and serrated, with a curved working end that improves access around deeper structures and helps maintain a firm grip on tissue. The finger rings provide stable handling, while the locking mechanism holds the jaws at a selected pressure for sustained clamping. The construction is consistent with reusable surgical stainless steel forceps designed for repeated sterilization and dependable alignment.
Surgical Applications
This clamp is used in general surgery, trauma surgery, gynecology, orthopedics, and vascular procedures. It is applied for vessel control, tissue grasping, packing, and holding sutures or drapes during open operative work. The curved jaw profile supports dissection in confined fields, abdominal surgery, and soft tissue procedures where access and control are important. It is also used in emergency care and minor surgical settings for temporary hemostasis.
Sterilization and Maintenance
The instrument is compatible with steam autoclave reprocessing, ethylene oxide sterilization, and validated chemical disinfection protocols. After use, it requires thorough cleaning of the serrations and ratchet teeth, complete drying, and inspection for jaw alignment, corrosion, and smooth locking action.
Material and Build Quality
The clamp is manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel with a polished metallic finish that resists staining and corrosion. The working surfaces are hardened for durable serration retention and consistent clamping performance across repeated sterilization cycles.
Recommended Settings
This instrument is suited to operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, emergency departments, and procedure rooms that perform open soft tissue surgery. It is also useful in hospital wards, minor procedure suites, and surgical supply sets where a reliable hemostatic clamp is needed for routine tissue control.
Summary
This Kelly clamp provides secure grasping and vessel control for a wide range of surgical and procedural tasks. It is available through MedPrax Market.
