Angiotribes, Atrauma and Bile Duct Clamps
Some clamps must crush tissue firmly, while others must hold vessels and ducts gently without damaging them. This category brings together both: the classic angiotribe for crushing pedicles, atraumatic clamps for delicate tissue, and bile duct clamps for biliary surgery (codes SI-014001 to SI-014016).
Where they are used
They are used in hysterectomy and pelvic surgery, kidney surgery, vascular and general surgery, and gallbladder and bile duct operations.
Our range
- Angiotribe: Fergusson
- Atraumatic clamps: Wertheim and Dick vaginal clamps, an atrauma kidney pedicle clamp, and atrauma tangential forceps
- Bile duct clamps: Nissen, Lahey, and Lahey (Sweet)
Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
Use the Fergusson angiotribe where a pedicle needs to be crushed before ligation. Atraumatic clamps have fine, interlocking jaws that hold vessels and ducts securely without crushing them, and should be used whenever tissue must survive. Choose right-angled bile duct clamps to reach behind the duct.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
Ordering and custom sizes
