What is a Satinsky clamp used for?

A Satinsky clamp can be a backup option for hilar clamping during challenging RPN cases, but requires careful technique, and was rarely necessary.

What is a debakey clamp?

Debakey forceps are a type of atraumatic tissue forceps used in vascular procedures to avoid tissue damage during manipulation. They are typically large (some examples are upwards of 12 inches (36 cm) long), and have a distinct coarsely ribbed grip panel, as opposed to the finer ribbing on most other tissue forceps.

What is a Duval clamp?

A Pennington clamp, also known as a Duval clamp, is a surgical clamp with a triangular eyelet. Used for grasping tissue, particularly during intestinal and rectal operations. Under the name ‘Duval clamp’ they are occasionally used much like a Foerster clamp to atraumatically grasp lung tissue.

What is a pedicle clamp?

Novo Surgical Wertheim Pedicle Clamp is most often used in situations that require the need to clamp off blood vessels or tumor pedicles. In this case, the clamp can be held in place due to the ratchet on the ring-handles, and can be released when desired.

How long can you cross clamp the aorta?

The clamping of the aorta excludes the systemic circulation, by definition, thus causing an ischemia. When a long cross-clamping period (longer than 25 min) or a drop in distal aortic pressure below 50–60 mmHg is anticipated, the use of an intraoperative shunt may prevent complications such as paraplegia.

What is a DeBakey used for?

DeBakey Forceps: Used for atraumatic tissue grasping during dissection.

What are skin hooks used for?

Skin hook is an essential equipment used for day-to-day skin surgeries such as scar revision, wound closure, excision of tumors, and facial lesions.

What is an Allison retractor?

Novo Surgical’s Allison Lung Retractor is a surgical instrument used in cardiothoracic procedures in which it is necessary to retract the lungs. This lung retractor is crafted with a solid hooked handle and a flat, spatula shaped blade.

What is a kidney pedicle?

The renal hilum (Latin: hilum renale) or renal pedicle is the hilum of the kidney, that is, its recessed central fissure where its vessels, nerves and ureter pass. The medial border of the kidney is concave in the center and convex toward either extremity; it is directed forward and a little downward.

Why would you clamp the aorta?

During open aortic surgery, interrupting the blood flow through the aorta by applying a cross-clamp is often a key step to allow for surgical repair. As a consequence, ischemia is induced in parts of the body distal to the clamp site.
