The Clamp has a number of features which assist the surgeon in the exposure and ligature of the ovarian pedicle.
• The ligature material is preloaded onto the forceps which takes it through the broad ligament.
• Longitudinal grooves in the jaw minimise slippage
• As the forceps are rotated the ‘B’ shaped extension ‘collects’ and brings together the structures of the pedicle ready for tying.
• The forceps sit outside the incision to exteriorise the pedicle
The ligature is tied without precrushing but is retained by a small haemostat to check for bleeding prior to closure.
