ABSTRACT:
A positive-locking surgical clamp has a first channel-shaped handle provided with a stationary elongated gripping jaw, a movable elongated gripping jaw pivotally mounted on the first handle in cooperative relationship with the stationary jaw and also pivotally joined to one end of a second channel-shaped handle, and a lever disposed within the confronting channels of the two handles and pivotally joined at one end to the second handle and at the other end engaging an adjustably positioned block supported in the channel of the first handle to provide a toggle action which develops a locked grip of large even pressure when the handles are squeezed into engagement with each other. The grip of the clamp is easily released by a thumb-actuated lever disposed alongside one of the handles which operates a cam pivoted within the channel of the handle in a position to engage the lever and force the handles apart.
