Product Overview
Wertheim Pedicle Clamp Curved 9 3/4" provides non-slip compression across extensive tissue pedicles during open radical urological surgeries, including cystectomies and prostatectomies. The sweeping jaw curve conforms to pelvic bone anatomy, helping urologic surgeons access deep-seated vesical and prostatic vascular cords without blocking the operative view. Its elongated shaft works in tandem with crosswise gripping ridges and a multi-position ring lock to ensure continuous, balanced holding force.
Key Features:
• Sweeping jaw curvature follows pelvic contours to reach recessed vascular tracts without obstruction.
• Cross-grooved gripping surfaces bite securely into dense, moist tissue cords under active tension.
• Extended 9 3/4-inch reach accesses confined operative depths within the deep pelvic bowl.
• Interlocking ratchet rings keep sustained closing resistance set during vessel division and suture ligations.
Uses & Applications:
• Clamps lateral and posterior vesical pedicles prior to resection during radical cystectomy.
• Controls bleeding along the prostatic venous complex in open radical prostatectomy.
• Compresses retroperitoneal fibrous cords and vascular bundles during extensive pelvic lymphadenectomies.
