The Resection Shark Tooth Clamp is a specialized orthopedic clamp designed for controlled handling and positioning in compatible surgical applications. Its compact 7" (17.7 cm) overall length provides a manageable working configuration, while the shark-tooth jaw profile is designed for controlled engagement with appropriately sized structures.

The instrument features a 0.25" (0.63 cm) platform width and a 0.75" (1.9 cm) bottom jaw length, providing a compact working end for applications requiring a focused clamping profile.

Design and Configuration

The Resection Shark Tooth Clamp incorporates a compact jaw assembly with a defined platform and bottom jaw dimensions.

Key dimensional features include:

• 7" (17.7 cm) overall length
• 0.25" (0.63 cm) platform width
• 0.75" (1.9 cm) bottom jaw length
• Shark-tooth jaw configuration

Orthopedic Applications

The Resection Shark Tooth Clamp is designed for compatible applications involving:

• Controlled handling during bone resection procedures
• Positioning of appropriately sized structures
• Orthopedic trauma and reconstructive applications
• Procedures requiring a compact toothed clamp configuration

Specific use should be determined according to the applicable surgical technique and procedural requirements.

Handling and Use Considerations

The clamp should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application and the size of the structure being engaged. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for applications requiring controlled handling within a limited working area.

The instrument should be used within its intended mechanical and dimensional capabilities.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and validated healthcare-facility protocols. After cleaning, inspect the teeth, jaw surfaces, platform, alignment, and mechanical components for cleanliness and proper function.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before reuse, the clamp should undergo the validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization process appropriate for the instrument. Inspect for damage, deformation, corrosion, worn teeth, or impaired mechanical function before returning it to service.
