10 1 2″ Wylie Hypogastric Clamp 70 mm Jaw

The 10 1 2″ Wylie Hypogastric Clamp 70 mm Jaw is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation and temporary occlusion of blood vessels during complex vascular and pelvic procedures. Developed with a long working profile and an extended 70 mm jaw, this clamp provides surgeons with the reach and positioning control required when operating in deep or anatomically restricted surgical fields. The Wylie hypogastric clamp is particularly associated with vascular procedures involving the hypogastric and pelvic vessels , where controlled vessel occlusion may be necessary to facilitate surgical exposure, reconstruction, ligation, or management of blood flow. Its 10½-inch overall length helps keep the surgeon’s hand and instrument grip away from the immediate operative site while providing access to deeper anatomical structures. One of the defining characteristics of this model is its 70 mm jaw length . The extended jaw provides a broad working surface for controlled engagement of the intended vascular structure. Proper jaw selection is important in vascular surgery because the instrument must provide sufficient access and control while being used according to the surgeon’s established technique and the characteristics of the vessel being treated. The long-shaft design is especially useful in procedures where conventional shorter vascular clamps may not provide adequate reach. The 10½″ Wylie Hypogastric Clamp can help facilitate controlled positioning in deep pelvic operative fields and may be incorporated into specialized vascular, cardiovascular, and general surgical instrument sets. Precision manufacturing is essential for vascular clamps because accurate jaw alignment and dependable mechanical action contribute to predictable instrument handling. The clamp is typically constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel , a material selected for its strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for reusable surgical instrumentation. The finished surfaces also support routine cleaning and inspection between procedures. During clinical use, surgeons should select the appropriate clamp based on the anatomy, procedure, vessel size, and required degree of temporary occlusion. The instrument should be handled carefully to avoid unnecessary trauma to vascular tissues. As with all vascular clamps, its application and removal should follow the operating surgeon’s established surgical technique. For reusable instrumentation, proper processing is essential to preserve performance. After use, the Wylie Hypogastric Clamp should be cleaned and decontaminated according to applicable institutional procedures. Hinges, jaws, and working surfaces should be carefully inspected for residue, corrosion, wear, or misalignment. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method specified by the manufacturer and healthcare facility. With its 10½-inch length, 70 mm jaw, extended reach, and vascular-specific design , the Wylie Hypogastric Clamp is a valuable instrument for surgical teams performing procedures that require controlled access to deep pelvic and vascular structures. Its combination of durable construction and precise mechanical handling makes it well suited for demanding vascular surgical environments.
