Price Thomas Bronchus Clamp Teeth on Left 220mm Full Longitudinal Serrations

The Price Thomas Bronchus Clamp Teeth on Left 220mm Full Longitudinal Serrations is a specialized thoracic and cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation and clamping of bronchial structures during open chest procedures. Its 220mm overall length, 50mm jaw, full longitudinal serrations, and left-sided tooth configuration provide a purpose-specific design for surgical access and tissue control. Bronchus clamps are used in thoracic surgery when the surgeon requires controlled handling of the bronchus or related airway structures. A dedicated bronchial clamp provides a long, appropriately configured working end that can help the surgical team isolate, stabilize, or manipulate the intended structure while maintaining access to the surrounding operative field. The Price-Thomas configuration is particularly suited to procedures requiring an extended instrument reach. With an overall length of 220mm, the clamp can provide useful access within the deeper thoracic cavity while keeping the surgeon’s hand and handle away from the immediate operative site. The 50mm jaw length provides an extended working surface for engaging the intended bronchial structure. A defining feature of this model is its teeth on the left side . This configuration is designed for a specific directional approach and allows surgical teams to select the appropriate instrument according to the operative anatomy and preferred technique. The full longitudinal serrations extend along the jaw surface and provide a textured gripping interface for controlled tissue engagement. The serrated jaw design can help maintain a stable grip during manipulation. Because bronchial and surrounding thoracic tissues require careful handling, the clamp should be positioned deliberately and applied only with the force necessary for the intended surgical task. Appropriate selection and application depend on the procedure, anatomical requirements, and surgeon’s clinical judgment. The Price-Thomas Bronchus Clamp can be incorporated into thoracic, cardiothoracic, pulmonary, and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets. It may complement bronchial forceps, lung retractors, thoracic scissors, rib spreaders, vascular clamps, dissecting forceps, and other instruments used during open chest procedures. The long shaft and specialized jaw configuration allow the instrument to function effectively within the thoracic operative field. The 220mm length is also consistent with documented Price-Thomas bronchus forceps specifications, including left-tooth configurations. Professional reusable bronchus clamps are generally manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or another suitable medical-grade alloy. This type of construction provides the mechanical strength needed for controlled clamping while offering durability and corrosion resistance when appropriate cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed. The jaws and serrations should be inspected before each use. The left-sided teeth should remain intact and properly aligned, while the longitudinal serrations should be free from deformation or excessive wear. The hinge and handle mechanism should also operate smoothly without excessive looseness or resistance. Following use, the Price-Thomas Bronchus Clamp should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions. Particular attention should be given to the serrated jaw surfaces, teeth, hinge, and recessed areas where blood or tissue residue may collect. Proper cleaning is essential before sterilization. When supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, the clamp should be sterilized using a validated healthcare-facility process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Careful inspection, cleaning, sterilization, and storage help preserve the jaw alignment and mechanical performance of the instrument. The Price-Thomas Bronchus Clamp Teeth on Left 220mm provides thoracic surgeons with a specialized combination of extended reach, left-sided tooth configuration, full longitudinal serrations, and a 50mm jaw. Its dedicated design makes it a valuable component of professional thoracic and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets.
