Abstract

A surgical clamp (1) having a one-piece body of resilient plastics material with a soft, resilient strip (8) at the clamping surfaces. The clamp body has two arms (2, 3) joined by a resilient member (4) which normally spreads the arms (2, 3) apart hut which permits the arms (2, 3) to be pressed into generally parallel clamping positions. The arms (2, 3) are held in various relative positions by a ratchet (5) which extends from one arm (2) and engages the other arm (3) and which permits adjustment of clamping pressure. The arms also have projections (17, 18) adjacent to the clamping surfaces thereof which prevent sideways dislodgement of a clamped part.

Description

BLOOD VESSEL CLAMP This invention relates to a surgical clamp and particu¬ larly, to a clamp for stopping the flow of blood from a blood vessel.
In the course of vascular surgery, it is often neces¬ sary to occlude temporarily a major artery in order to repair it, to clean out its contents or to anastomose it to another blood vessel. Usually an occluding clamp is used, and the clamp must not only gently squeeze the vessel but also must evenly compress the vessel without injury. A spring loaded clamp with fixed tension is not satisfactory, and provision must be made for adjustment of the clamping pressure. Thus, the pressure must not be more than necessary to occlude the blood vessel, and gradual release of the pressure is desirable to initially permit a small flow of blood to test any suturing before the clamp is fully opened. Also, after the clamp is applied, it should not have an opening through which the vessel can be accidently dislodged and causes a serious loss of blood.
Various types of clamps with soft, vessel engaging surfaces and ratchet type holding mechanisms are known in the art. See, for example, United States Patents Nos. 3,174,754; 3,503,398; and 3,766,925. Some of the prior art clamps are cumbersome or awkward to use and/or expensive to make. After extensive experimentation, we have discovered a clamp construc¬ tion which has the features described hereinbefore and which is both simple and inexpensive to make.
One object of the invention is a simple surgical clamp which is readily applied to a blood vessel, which is easily ad¬ justable, which will provide the desired clamping pressure with¬ out injury to a vessel and which, after application does not have a side opening through which the vessel can be displaced.
In the preferred embodiment of the clamp of the inven¬ tion at least the major portion of the clamp is made in one piece from a plastics material. The major portion comprises a pair of clamping arms which are generally parallel when the clamp is closed. The arms are interconnected at one end by a flexible, resilient member which urges the arms into separated relation. The opposite end of one arm carries a ratchet which extends toward and engages the opposite end of the othe arm so as to hold the arms in positions at which they are set as the clamp is applied. However, the other arm can be released from the ratchet to decrease clamping pressure or to open the clamp for insertion of a blood vessel between the clamping arms.
The clamping portions of the arms have slots for re¬ ceiving extensions of a soft, resilient strip for engaging the blood vessel. The clamping portion of one arm has a projection or tail at one end for preventing dislodgment of a blood vessel in one direction, and the clamping portion of the other arm has a similar projection or tail displaced from the firs -mentioned projection for preventing dislodgement of a blood vessel in the opposite direction.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiment thereof, which description should be considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. l.is an isometric view of the preferred embodiment of the clamp of the invention.
FIG. 2. is a side elevation view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 with the clamp in its released position;
FIG. 3. is a side elevation view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1. with the clamp receiving and clamping a blood vessel;
FIG. 4. is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 and is taken along the line 4-4 indicated in Fig. 3; and
FIG. 5. is a side elevation view of the soft resilient strip forming part of the clamp of the invention.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention illustra¬ ted in the drawings, the clamp 1 has a pair of clamping arms 2 and 3 which are integral with a resilient member 4 which, when the ratchet 5, hereinafter described, is released, causes the arms 2 and 3 to move apart and assume the positions shown in Fig. 2. The member 4 also has sufficient elasticity to permit the arms 2 and 3 to be spread further apart than is shown in Fig. 2 so that a blood vessel can be inserted between the arms 3 and the upper end of the ratchet 5 during application of the clamp 1 to a blood vessel. Of course, it is not necessary that the blood vessel be so inserted because the end of the vessel 0Λ.PI can be inserted directly into the space between the arms 2 and 3 shown in Fig. 2.
The member 4 also has sufficient resiliency to permit the arms 2 and 3 to be brought into parallel, or substantially parallel relation, as shown in Fig. 3.
The clamping arms 2 and 3 respectively have an inter¬ mediate part engaging, clamping portion 6 and 7, the clamping portion 6 extending toward the arm 3 and the clamping portion 7 extending toward the arm 2. A strip 8 of soft, resilient material i.e. softer than the material of the portions 6 and
7, is on the facing surfaces of the portions 6 and 7. The strip
8, preferably is a single strip, as illustrated in Fig. 5, and has a pair of projections 10 and 11 which are received in slots 12 and 13 in the portions 6 and 7 and'the arms 2 and 3. The slots 12 and 13 are tapered, as shown in Fig. 4, and the dimen¬ sions of the projections 10 and 11 are such as to fill the slots
12 and 13 as to resist dislodgement of the projections 10 and
13 from the slots 12 and 13. However, the strip 8 may be re- - moved and replaced. Although the strip 18 is a single strip for manufacturing and blood vessel retention reasons, the strip 8 could be two separate and identical pieces.
The ratchet 5, having ratchet teeth 5a, extends from the end of the arm 2 opposite from the end thereof which is connec¬ ted to the member 4 and extends toward the arm 3 which has an opening 14 therein through which the ratchet 5 can pass. The ratchet 5 is made of resilient material and is formed so that it is urged toward a lip 16 at one side of the opening 14. Thus, after the ratchet 5 is inserted into the opening 14, with press¬ ing of the arms 2 and 3 toward each other, the ratchet teeth 5a will engage the lip 16 when the arms 2 and 3 are released and will prevent separation of the arms 2 and 3 until the ratchet 5 is moved in a direction away from the lip 16. It will be observed that the width of the opening 14 between the lip 16 and the opposite side of the opening is greater than the corres¬ ponding dimension of the ratchet 5.
A projection, or tail, 17 extends from the end of the clamping portion 7 nearest the member 4 and a corresponding projection, or tail, 18 extends from the end of the clamping portion 6 farthest from the member 4. Such projections 17 and and 18 prevent a blood vessel from being dislodged from between the clamping portions 6 and 7 when the clamp is applied. Of course, if desired, the projection 17 could extend from the opposite end of the clamping portion 7 if the projection 18 extends from the opposite end of the clamping portion 6.
Preferably, all the parts of the clamp 1, except the strip 8, are injection moulded in one piece from a plastics material, such as a polycarbonate, and the strip 8 is made from soft, resilient material such as a soft or sponge rubber or celular plastics material, such as polyurethane.
In use, a blood vessel e.g. the blood vessel 19 (Fig. 3) is inserted between the facing surfaces of the stip 8 with the clamp 1 open, as shown in Fig 2, or with the facing surfaces of the strip 8 otherwise far enough apart to receive- the blood vessel 19. The arms 2 and 3 are then pressed toward each other, with the ratchet 5 received in the opening 14, until the flow of blood from the vessel 19 is stopped and until the desired pressure, a matter of "feel" and visual observation, is applied to the vessel 19. The pressure may be reduced, either if the initial pressure is too high or if it is desired to have a small flow of blood to test surturing, by releasing the ratchet teeth 5a from the lip' 16 as previously described and by maintaining gradually reduced, finger pressure on the arms 2 and 3.
The clamp 1 may be completely released by disengaging the ratchet teeth 5a from the lip 16 and permitting the arms 2 and 3 to spring apart or by deliberately spreading the arms 2 and 3 apart manually.
Thus, the clamp of the invention is simple in construc¬ tion and may be made relatively easily and inexpensively. A blood vessel may be readily inserted in the clamp and is en¬ gaged only by relatively soft material of the strip 8. Further¬ more the pressure on a blood vessel may be readily adjusted, an when the clamp is at least partially closed, a blood vessel can not be displaced sideways out of the clamp.
Although a single embodiment of the present invention has been described and illustrated, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made without departing from the principles of the invention.
