A TISSUE CLAMP FOR TRANSANAL HEMORRHOIDOPEXY OR HEMORRHOIDECTOMY

摘要

A surgical tissue clamp (1) for holding prolapsed tissue (10, 10') during a hemorrhoidopexy or hemorrhoidectomy, comprises an elongate insertion shaf t (4), a handle (3) and a clamping head (2) including a proximal jaw (5) and a distal jaw (6) configured to cooperate with the proximal jaw (5) for clam ping the prolapsed tissue (10), as well as an actuating device (8) operative ly connected with the proximal and distal jaws (5, 6) and adapted to approxi mate the jaws and to hold the jaws in a tissue clamping configuration. The c lamping head (2) defines at least one proximal access aperture (11) configur ed to expose the clamped tissue proximally.
