A pylorus clamp is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to gently compress the pylorus, the muscular valve between the stomach and duodenum, during operative procedures. It is used to temporarily occlude this opening to prevent spillage of gastric or duodenal contents, providing a clearer surgical field and reducing contamination risk.
This device is reusable and constructed from high-grade stainless steel, featuring broad, flat, serrated blades for atraumatic grip and a sturdy handle to withstand applied pressure. It is supplied as a non-sterile instrument requiring reprocessing between uses and is not associated with any specific regulatory class in the reference definition.
