Gastric and Intestinal Clamps
Intestinal clamps are large self-retaining forceps with a primary function to occlude the bowel lumen.
These clamps are indeed tissue forceps to allow firm holding of stomach and intestines.
The non-crushing intestinal clamps do not cause permanent injury to the wall of the held viscus.
• They occlude the viscus lumen and prevent spillage of infected bowel contents.
• Temporarily occlude circulation in the bowel wall and thus keep the operative field free of blood.
• Facilitate anastomosis by allowing the bowel ends to be approximated and manipulated.
The varieties of clamps in use are:
• Doyen’s (Fig. 8.64)
• Kochers (Figs 8.65A and B)
• Lane (Fig. 8.66)
• Lane twin anastomotic clamp (Fig. 8.67)
• Lloyd Davies Rectal occlusion forceps (Fig. 8.68)
• Payr intestinal clamp (Figs 8.69A and B)
• Lang Stevenson (Fig. 8.70)
• Parker Kerr (Fig. 8.71)
• Zachary Cope (Fig. 8.72) (see pages 156-157)
