9 1/4″ Lee Bronchus Clamp Double Angled, Curved Shanks

The 9 1/4″ Lee Bronchus Clamp Double Angled, Curved Shanks is a specialized bronchial surgical clamp designed for controlled manipulation and clamping of appropriate bronchial structures during selected thoracic and pulmonary procedures. With a 9 1/4-inch overall length , double-angled design, and curved shanks, this instrument provides a specialized configuration for accessing and handling bronchial anatomy within the operative field. Bronchus clamps are used by trained thoracic surgical professionals when controlled manipulation, temporary occlusion, or stabilization of an appropriate bronchial structure is required. The specific application depends on the surgical procedure, anatomy, and established clinical technique. Vessel or airway structures should only be clamped when clinically indicated and with an instrument appropriate for the intended anatomical purpose. The double-angled design is an important feature of this Lee Bronchus Clamp. Angled working configurations can help the surgeon approach structures from a more suitable orientation when direct access is restricted by surrounding anatomy. The double-angle can provide an offset between the handle and working end, supporting improved positioning within selected thoracic operative fields. The curved shanks further enhance the instrument’s specialized geometry. Curved shanks can provide additional clearance around surrounding tissues and structures while allowing the working end to be positioned appropriately. This configuration may be particularly useful when working through confined surgical approaches where straight instruments may offer less convenient access. The 9 1/4-inch overall length provides a practical reach for thoracic surgical applications. An appropriately sized long instrument can allow the surgical professional to access deeper operative structures while maintaining controlled hand positioning outside the immediate surgical field. The Lee Bronchus Clamp can be incorporated into thoracic surgery instrument sets, pulmonary surgery trays, bronchial surgery collections, lung resection instrument sets, and specialized cardiothoracic surgical systems . It can complement thoracic forceps, bronchial scissors, vascular clamps, needle holders, retractors, suction instruments, and other pulmonary surgical instruments. Controlled handling is particularly important around bronchial structures. The airway and surrounding tissues should be manipulated carefully to minimize unnecessary trauma. The clamp should only be applied to suitable anatomy using controlled force and according to the surgeon’s established technique. The specialized double-angled and curved-shank configuration can help surgical teams maintain appropriate instrument orientation while working around anatomical contours. This can support precise placement without requiring excessive manipulation of the instrument or surrounding structures. Before each procedure, the Lee Bronchus Clamp should be carefully inspected for proper alignment, smooth mechanical operation, structural integrity, and condition of the working components. The clamping surfaces should remain correctly aligned and free from deformation, excessive wear, corrosion, or visible damage. For reusable configurations, the instrument should be cleaned and decontaminated promptly after use according to validated healthcare-facility instrument-processing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working surfaces, joints, curved shanks, and other areas where biological material may accumulate. After cleaning, the clamp should be inspected again for proper mechanical function and structural condition. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions and institutional protocols. Proper cleaning, sterilization, handling, and storage help preserve instrument integrity and service life. For hospitals, thoracic surgeons, pulmonary surgical teams, cardiothoracic departments, operating rooms, surgical centers, and medical instrument suppliers, the 9 1/4″ Lee Bronchus Clamp Double Angled, Curved Shanks provides a specialized option for controlled bronchial handling. Its extended length, double-angled design, and curved shanks make it a practical addition to professional thoracic and pulmonary surgical instrument collections.
