10 1/2″ Pelvic Clamp Straight

The 10 1/2″ Pelvic Clamp is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled grasping, holding, and stabilization during compatible pelvic procedures. Its straight configuration provides a direct working profile, while the 10 1/2-inch overall length offers extended reach within the surgical field.

The clamp is intended for applications where secure handling and controlled positioning are required. Its extended design can help provide access to areas where a longer surgical instrument is preferred.

Design and Configuration

The instrument features a straight configuration with a clamp-style working end and an extended overall length of 10 1/2 inches. The straight profile allows the working end to be positioned directly toward the intended area without the additional curvature found in angled or curved clamp designs.

The handle and locking mechanism are intended to support controlled grasping and stable positioning during compatible procedures.

Working-End Characteristics

The pelvic clamp working end is designed to provide controlled holding and stabilization. The clamping surfaces should be inspected regularly to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation.

The working end should not be subjected to excessive force or used for applications outside its intended purpose.

Surgical Applications

The 10 1/2″ Pelvic Clamp may be suitable for compatible surgical applications requiring:

• Controlled grasping and holding
• Stabilization of appropriate surgical structures
• Instrument-assisted positioning
• Procedures requiring extended surgical reach
• Pelvic surgical applications where a straight clamp is appropriate

The exact application should be determined according to the specific procedure and professional surgical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

The clamp should be operated with controlled pressure appropriate to the intended application. The locking mechanism, jaws, and handle should be checked before use to ensure smooth operation.

Avoid excessive loading or using the clamp as a substitute for an instrument specifically designed for cutting, crushing, or other functions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the clamp according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws, hinge, and locking mechanism where residues may accumulate.

After cleaning, inspect the instrument for proper jaw alignment, smooth movement, surface condition, and any signs of damage.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before reuse, confirm that the clamp opens and closes smoothly and that the locking mechanism functions correctly.
