12″ B-Clamp – Straight Handle Straight Jaw

12″ B-Clamp – Straight Handle Straight Jaw is a precision surgical instrument commonly used by general surgeons, bariatric surgeons, and gastrointestinal specialists during open and minimally invasive procedures. The instrument is specifically designed to provide temporary clamping, tissue compression, and vascular control during surgical interventions involving the stomach, intestines, and other abdominal structures. Featuring straight jaws, the clamp enables secure tissue engagement and uniform compression while maintaining precise alignment during use. The straight jaw configuration supports accurate placement and is particularly useful when working with linear anatomical structures. The straight handle design provides excellent leverage, comfortable manipulation, and enhanced control during prolonged procedures. An integrated ratchet locking mechanism maintains consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, improving procedural efficiency and reducing hand fatigue. With an overall length of 12 inches (approximately 30 cm), the instrument offers an ideal balance of reach and maneuverability for abdominal and gastrointestinal procedures. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the B-Clamp delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and facilitates efficient cleaning and maintenance. Fully reusable and autoclavable, this clamp is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining precise jaw alignment, locking performance, and structural integrity.
