Stone Intestinal Anastomosis Closing Forceps

Description

Stone Intestinal Anastomosis Closing Forceps

Stone closing forceps apply and close the small Stone clamps used in intestinal anastomosis. The instrument measures 15.5 cm.

Its role in the set

The clamps themselves are small and spring-loaded. Therefore you need a closing forceps to open them, place them on the bowel and close them evenly.

Working with the clamps

Surgeons pair this forceps with Stone-Watt clamps in 7.5 cm and 10 cm. So check you have both the clamps and the forceps before the list.

Handling the clamps

Grip each small clamp across its body with the forceps. Then open it, place it on the bowel and release it so it closes evenly. Because the clamps are small, a steady hand matters more than force. Also, count the clamps in and out, since they are easy to miss in a busy field. After the anastomosis, remove each clamp with the same forceps rather than by hand. Also, store the forceps with the clamps, so the whole system stays together between cases.

Care of Stone closing forceps

Wipe the tips during the case to stop tissue from drying on them. Afterwards, clean the box joint with a brush and dry the forceps. Also, make sure the tips still meet squarely.
