5 1/2 Kitzmiller - Right Angled Jaw

5 1/2″ Kitzmiller - Right Angled Jaw

The 5 1/2″ Kitzmiller clamp with right-angled jaws addresses the challenge of securing tissue in confined surgical fields where straight instruments lack sufficient reach or visibility. Designed for general surgery applications, this instrument features a distinct angular configuration that allows surgeons to navigate around anatomical structures while maintaining a familiar grip on vessels or delicate tissues. The compact 5.5-inch overall length provides enhanced maneuverability and control in shallow cavities, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. By offering improved line-of-sight to the operative site, this clamp supports precise hemostasis and tissue manipulation, facilitating smoother workflow and greater confidence during critical dissection phases.

Use Cases

• Securing small blood vessels or ducts in confined anatomical spaces where straight clamps obstruct visualization
• Manipulating delicate tissue layers during general surgical dissections requiring angled approach vectors
• Providing temporary hemostasis in shallow wound beds where standard instrument length limits access

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Inspect jaw alignment and ratchet mechanism for wear or damage before each use to supports proper function
• Clean thoroughly according to facility protocols, supports debris is removed from the serrated jaw surfaces and box lock
• Store in a dry, protected environment to prevent corrosion and maintain instrument integrity between procedures
