ABSTRACT:
This relates to a surgical clamp which is of a simple construction, which may be readily utilized and is readily disposable. The surgical clamp is intended for being passed around and clamping off a portion of a solid organ such as a liver, kidney or any other solid organ. The surgical clamp is simply in the form of a plastic strap having two free ends. The strap is passed around the organ to clamp off the desired portion of the organ, after which the free ends of the strap are passed through openings in a clip having latch members for engaging the strap and retaining it in a tight position. The clip is then moved up onto the strap so as to tighten the strap around the organ and to clamp the organ sufficiently to prevent or greatly restrict bleeding. The clip includes latch members which automatically operate to hold the strap in an organ clamping position. The latch members are provided with manual releases so as to permit the reverse movement of the clip on the strap portions and the removal of the surgical clamp from the affected organ. With a portion of the affected organ clamped off, the affected portion of the organ is readily observable and is ready for a required surgical procedure without the undue flow and resulting loss of blood which may restrict the surgical procedure.
