ABSTRACT:
A surgical clamping device includes a first jaw and a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw between the proximal position and a spaced position. The first jaw has a supporting surface facing toward the second jaw and an opposing surface facing away from the second jaw. An insert is removably mountable in an operative position on the first jaw and includes an insert base having a central wall and a pair of side walls which form a channel configured to receive the first jaw. An elastomeric material forms a pad on the central wall facing the second jaw while the side walls extend away from the second jaw. Holes in the central wall increase the thickness of the pad without increasing the profile of the insert. A detent mechanism extends laterally of the first jaw between the supporting surface and the opposing surface of the first jaw without interfering with the structural integrity of the clamping device.
