Description
Mastin Muscular Clamp
The Mastin muscle clamp holds muscle before division. Surgeons use it to control bleeding when they cut strap muscles or other muscle bands.
Size of the Mastin muscle clamp
The clamp measures 17 cm. That suits neck and abdominal wall work. Meanwhile, the ratchet holds it closed.
How it helps
The clamp compresses muscle on both sides of the cut. As a result, bleeding stays low as the surgeon divides it. That keeps the field clear.
Typical procedures
Thyroid surgeons use it on strap muscles. In addition, general surgeons use it in abdominal wall work. It also suits hernia repair.
Technique
Place two clamps across the muscle. Then divide between them. Finally, ligate or repair each end.
Pairing
Lahey goiter forceps and Kocher enucleators sit on the same thyroid tray. Together they cover the main steps. In addition, many neck sets include one Mastin.
Ratchet hold
The ratchet locks the jaws at the chosen pressure. Consequently, the assistant need not squeeze. Check the ratchet before each case.
Mastin muscle clamp in abdominal wall work
Muscle-splitting incisions and wall repairs sometimes need a band of muscle divided cleanly. In those moments, two clamps placed side by side give a dry cut and two ends ready for suture.

Care
Open the ratchet and brush the jaws. Rinse and dry. Then sterilise.
Guarantee and support
We stand behind the Mastin clamp with three years against manufacturing defects. Before it ships, someone in Atlanta inspects this Mastin clamp by hand. We gladly suggest an option for repeat orders. More options wait in the general surgery listings. Our common questions page addresses orders, shipping and returns. It pairs well with the Lahey goiter forceps. For a primer on instrument alloys, look up ASTM F899.
For surgical teams only. Open the shipping policy for lead times. Our care guidance sets out photo differences along with nickel in the steel.
