A Lung Clamp for Use with Mechanical Staplers

John D. Harrah, M.D.

From the Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Marshall University School of Medicine, Huntington, WV 25701.

Accepted for publication November 13, 1978.

A special lung clamp has been developed for use with mechanical stapling devices. These stapling instruments have been adopted widely for pulmonary operations. A variety of clamps has been used to grasp the pulmonary tissue. The present instrument was designed with vertical grooves and fine tapered spikes with opposing holes in the jaws of the clamp. This particular lung clamp overcomes the problem of slippage previously encountered when performing pulmonary resections with stapling devices.
