Definitions

  • a surgical clamping means is provided with serrated jaws presenting to body tissues surfaces which are relatively rounded rather than sharp to avoid damage to the tis sues while nevertheIess effecting secure clamping action by presenting pocketlike regions within which expanded portions 'of the tissues are clamped.
  • the invention relates to surgical clamping means adapted to clamp tubular vessels of the body or other tissues during surgery with avoidance of damage thereto.
  • the type of clamping means disclosed in said Baker patent is still further improved by utilizing a somewhat different principle of operation. While in the Baker patent relatively sharp teeth are utilized to effect secure clamping, though they are so arranged that despite their sharpness they are prevented from penetrating or cutting the clamped tissues, the present invention makes possible secure clamping without the presentation to the tissues of sharp edges and thereby prevents even accidental damage to delicate tissues.
  • the clamping means in accordance with the present invention provides, in effect, pockets which permit a tissue to expand, in association with restricted regions so that movement from the former into the latter would require substantial distortion by compression or other deformation of the tissue.
  • the compression action is further resisted by entrapment of liquid which would have to be extruded through clamped portions of a vessel to permit slipping movement.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show, for example, forceps comprising the members 2 and 4 which are hinged at 6 and provided with finger-receiving rings I2 and a latching arrangement indicated at I4 comprising interengaging toothed projections.
  • the jaws 8 and IO' may have conventional shapes aside from the.clamping surface structure III and it will be understood that the invention is quite generally applicable to a great variety of forceps and other clamps having straight or curved jaws of various dimensions depending upon the particular uses for which they are intended.
  • the handles or other manipulating means may be of various types including springs, wedges, cam devices, screws or the like for the purpose of closing or adjusting the jaws.
  • the jaws may be wholly or only partially serrated in accordance with the invention and the general nature of the serrations provided in carrying out the invention will be made clear from FIGS. 3 and 4 which show a preferred arrangement of the serrations for an aortic clamp.
  • the construction of the jaws may be made clear by describing the operations involved in the formation of their clamping surfaces.
  • milling used in its formation, though it may be otherwise formed, as by casting, it comprises lateral surfaces 16 running lengthwise of the jaws and presenting, as illustrated in FIG. 4, rounded downwardly facing surfaces which have a clamping function.
  • a longitudinally extending groove 18, the milling also forming as a continuation of the surfaces 16 the longitudinal surfaces indicated at 20, while in the formation of the groove 18 side surfaces for the groove are provided at 22.
  • the further result of the milling is to provide rounded longitudinally extending ribs as indicated at 24.
  • the surfaces 22 are concave as viewed in this transverse section and as will appear form outer walls of pockets.
  • the surfaces 20 also have at the roots of the downwardly extending ridges concave portions which also tend toform pockets.
  • this has upwardly convex longitudinal lands 26 while milled inwardly of-the lands are grooves 28 having concave walls 30, the grooves conjointly forming a ridge 32 the flanks of which are concave as indicated at 34.
  • FIG. 5 the jaws of FIG. 4 are illustrated as clamping a vessel T which may be assumed to contain a liquid such as blood.
  • the vessel l is tightly clamped as illustrated at T, by the rounded lands l6 and 26 at both sides of the jaws. It will be evident that this action by closing off the vessel at two regions will trap in the intermediate region a quantity of the liquid.
  • FIG. 5 While reference in FIG. 5 has been specifically made to a vessel which may contain a liquid, it will be clear that the matter of compression and necessary restriction for movement would apply to hold all types of body tissues which have the properties of being compressed or distorted with elasticity which will resist these deformations.
  • Surgical clamping means comprising a pair of jaws mounted for movements toward and from each other, each of said jaws comprising at least one longitudinal rib having a row of teeth and at least one longitudinal groove located to receive the teeth of the rib of the opposite jaw, the teeth of the ribs on the respective jaws being laterally disposed relatively to each other, the ribs on the respective jaws having longitudinally extending flanks which are closely adjacent to each other when the jaws are in clamping relationship, and which are shaped to provide a longitudinally extending tissue-receiving pocket having, in transverse cross section an enlarged central portion and reduced end portions.
  • each of said flanks is concave 3.
  • a clamp according to claim I in which the teeth are rounded.
  • a clamp according to claim 1 in which the jaws are provided with engageable surfaces to prevent engagement of the ribs with each other when the jaws are closed.
