The Powers Modified Kocher Clamps are designed for controlled grasping and manipulation during orthopedic surgical procedures. The instrument is available in three working-end configurations—Tapered Jaw, Tapered Narrow Jaw, and Square Jaw—providing different jaw dimensions for varying surgical requirements.
All three configurations feature an 8.25" (21 cm) overall length and a 2.5" (6.4 cm) jaw length. The primary difference between the options is the geometry and dimensions of the jaw at the end.
Key Features
- Modified Kocher clamp design
- Three jaw configurations available
- Tapered Jaw
- Tapered Narrow Jaw
- Square Jaw
- 8.25" (21 cm) overall length
- 2.5" (6.4 cm) jaw length
- Different end dimensions for different grasping requirements
- Designed for controlled grasping and manipulation
Jaw Configurations
Tapered Jaw
The Tapered Jaw configuration features a jaw-end dimension of 5.2 × 4.1 mm. Its tapered profile provides a progressively shaped working end for controlled engagement.
- Overall Length: 8.25" (21 cm)
- Jaw Length: 2.5" (6.4 cm)
- Jaw at End: 5.2 × 4.1 mm
Tapered Narrow Jaw
The Tapered Narrow Jaw configuration provides a narrower jaw-end profile, with dimensions of 5.2 × 3 mm.
- Overall Length: 8.25" (21 cm)
- Jaw Length: 2.5" (6.4 cm)
- Jaw at End: 5.2 × 3 mm
This configuration can be selected when a narrower working-end dimension is required.
Square Jaw
The Square Jaw configuration has a larger, more squared working-end profile with dimensions of 6.5 × 5 mm.
- Overall Length: 8.25" (21 cm)
- Jaw Length: 2.5" (6.4 cm)
- Jaw at End: 6.5 × 5 mm
Working-End Comparison
| Jaw Type | Jaw at End | Jaw Length | Overall Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tapered Jaw | 5.2 × 4.1 mm | 2.5" (6.4 cm) | 8.25" (21 cm) |
| Tapered Narrow Jaw | 5.2 × 3 mm | 2.5" (6.4 cm) | 8.25" (21 cm) |
| Square Jaw | 6.5 × 5 mm | 2.5" (6.4 cm) | 8.25" (21 cm) |
Design and Configuration
The Powers Modified Kocher Clamps share a common overall instrument length and jaw length while offering three different working-end geometries.
The Tapered Jaw and Tapered Narrow Jaw configurations provide progressively shaped working ends, with the Narrow Jaw offering a smaller specified width at the end.
The Square Jaw configuration provides a more squared working-end profile with a specified 6.5 × 5 mm end dimension.
Surgical Applications
The Powers Modified Kocher Clamps are intended to assist with controlled grasping and manipulation during orthopedic surgical procedures.
Potential applications include:
- Controlled tissue grasping
- Surgical tissue manipulation
- Orthopedic procedures requiring a specialized clamp
- Holding and positioning structures within the operative field
- Applications requiring different jaw-end configurations
The appropriate jaw type should be selected according to the surgical technique and required working-end dimensions.
Jaw Selection Guide
Choose the configuration based on the required working-end geometry:
- Tapered Jaw — 5.2 × 4.1 mm: tapered working end
- Tapered Narrow Jaw — 5.2 × 3 mm: narrower tapered working end
- Square Jaw — 6.5 × 5 mm: squared working end
The overall length and jaw length remain the same across all three options.

Handling and Use Considerations
Select the jaw configuration according to the intended surgical application and required working-end dimensions. Use controlled pressure appropriate to the structure being grasped or manipulated.
Before use, inspect the jaws and operating mechanism for proper function and visible damage. After use, follow the healthcare facility's established procedures for cleaning, inspection, sterilization, maintenance, and storage.
