Blocking clamp for blood vessels and oviducts - with two rigid clamp jaws, hinge and fastening spike

Abstract

Abstract The tube blocking clamp is for clamping veins, arteries, umbilical cords, oviducts etc during animal or human surgery. It consists of two rigid clamping jaws with parallel inner surfaces held together at one end by a flexible web and at the other end over a fastening device. The fastener consists of a spike (6) on the lower jaw (1) fitting in an opening (9) on the upper jaw and bordered by side walls (10) joined by a web (12). Pref the flexible web between the jaws (1, 2) is an integral flexible hinge with a thickened area in the middle of the hinge which fills out the space (5) in front of the hinge (3) when the clamp is closed thus providing uniform pressure over the whole clamp.
