Veidenheimer Sigmoid Anastomosis Clamp

Description

Veidenheimer Sigmoid Anastomosis Clamp

The Veidenheimer clamp is a curved, atraumatic clamp for sigmoid colon surgery. It measures 23 cm.

Curved and compact

The curve helps you place the jaws across the colon deep in the pelvis. Meanwhile, the 23 cm length keeps it easy to handle.

Gentle on the bowel

The atraumatic jaws hold bowel you plan to join. As a result, the clamp suits the anastomosis stage rather than resection.

Using it in the pelvis

The curve lets you place the jaws across the colon low in the pelvis without awkward angles. Then the atraumatic jaws hold the bowel while the anastomosis is formed. Because the clamp is compact, it leaves room for other instruments. Also, release it slowly at the end, so the new join is not pulled. Many teams keep it alongside a longer sigmoid clamp for deeper cases. Also, its curve suits surgeons who work from the patient’s left side.

Care of the Veidenheimer clamp

Use a nylon brush, not a wire one, on the atraumatic jaws. Then rinse, dry and store the clamp unlocked or on its first click.
