InactiveUS20050240219A1Minimize trauma during surgeryInstallationSurgical forcepsWound clampsSurgery procedureBlood vessel
The invention relates to a surgical instrument for at least partially occluding a body conduit comprising a first jaw, a second jaw opposing the first jaw and moveable relative to the first jaw to occlude the conduit, and an insert being mounted by at least one of the first and second jaws with a length of the insert extending along at least one of the first and second jaws. One of the first and second jaws may further comprise a retention barb to provide a friction fit with the insert. The insert is flexible, disposable and may be formed by injection molding. The retention barb may be a three-sided or multiple-sided barb that is formed at the proximal end of at least one of the first and second jaws. The first and / or second jaws may be bent and / or curved. In another aspect, the insert comprises an outer wall and an inner wall for fitting over the jaw, and the inner wall further comprises a molded, rectangular raised ring formed at the proximal end to aid the retention of the insert over the retention barb of the jaw. The insert may be removed from the jaw by pulling the insert in a distal direction to overcome the friction fit of the retention barb. The insert may further include a soft tip covering the distal end of one of the jaws to minimize trauma during surgery. The distal ends of the jaw and the insert may be tapered to allow ease of installation and removal. In another aspect, the insert and jaws may be removably attached to one another in a snap-fit relationship where the jaws may include one or more holes and the insert may include one or more projections. It is appreciated that the holes and projections may vary in width, depth and height depending on application.
