ABSTRACT:
Atraumatic grasping device for use in surgery, having an elongate tubular member having proximal and distal extremities. An insert is carried by the distal extremity of the tubular member and forms a slot opening into the tubular member. First and second elongate substantially parallel spring members having proximal and distal extremities. The first and second spring members extend through the tubular member and through the slot so that the distal extremities of the first and second spring members extend beyond said slot. The distal extremities of the first and second spring members are bowed apart from each other. First and second jaws formed on the distal extremities of the first and second spring members. A linkage is secured to the proximal extremities of the first and second spring members and the tubular member for causing relative movement between the tubular member and the first and second spring members to cause closing and opening of said first and second jaws in a substantially parallel motion to facilitate grasping of tissue and retaining the same between the first and second jaws.
