Product Overview
The Kocher Clamp is a traumatic hemostatic forceps used to grasp and secure tough tissue during surgical dissection and removal. Its toothed jaws provide a firm hold on fascia, skin, and other dense structures, supporting procedures that require controlled traction and tissue control.
Design and Construction
This instrument has long, straight shanks with ring handles that support stable finger control during open surgery. The jaws are narrow and serrated with a toothed tip, creating a strong bite for gripping tissue that resists slipping. A ratchet locking mechanism holds the clamp in a fixed position, allowing sustained compression without continuous hand pressure. The body is formed from surgical grade stainless steel with a polished metallic finish for durability and repeated reprocessing.
Surgical Applications
This clamp is used in general surgery, trauma surgery, orthopedic exposure, and gynecologic procedures where firm tissue grasping is required. It supports excision of tissue, traction on fascia, and control of dense structures during wound exploration and closure. Surgeons use it for holding tissue that will be removed, securing edges during dissection, and stabilizing tissue planes in open operative fields. It is also used in emergency procedures and minor surgical interventions that require a strong traumatic clamp.
Sterilization and Maintenance
The instrument is compatible with steam sterilization in an autoclave and also supports standard low temperature reprocessing methods when required by facility protocol. After use, it requires thorough cleaning of the serrations and ratchet, followed by inspection for jaw alignment, tooth wear, and smooth locking action before reuse.
Material and Build Quality
The clamp is manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel with a smooth corrosion resistant surface and high mechanical strength. The toothed jaws are hardened for secure tissue purchase, and the polished finish supports cleaning and repeated sterilization without loss of function.
Recommended Settings
This instrument is suited to operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, emergency departments, and procedure rooms where firm tissue grasping is needed. It is useful in general surgical suites, trauma bays, and specialty theaters that perform open soft tissue procedures and tissue excision.
Summary
The Kocher Clamp provides secure traumatic tissue grasping for surgical dissection, traction, and removal procedures. It is available through MedPrax Market for use in surgical instruments and tools workflows.
