Bonney myomectomy clamp
Surgical instrument used in myomectomy procedures
Bonney Myomectomy Clamp[edit | edit source]
The Bonney myomectomy clamp is a specialized surgical instrument used primarily in gynecological surgery, specifically during myomectomy procedures. A myomectomy is a surgical operation to remove uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years.
Design and Features[edit | edit source]
The Bonney myomectomy clamp is designed to provide a firm grip on the uterine tissue during the surgical procedure. It is typically made of high-quality surgical steel to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. The clamp features long, curved jaws that allow for effective clamping of the tissue, minimizing bleeding and providing the surgeon with better control during the operation.
Usage in Myomectomy[edit | edit source]
During a myomectomy, the Bonney myomectomy clamp is used to secure the uterus and isolate the fibroids. This helps in reducing blood loss and provides a clear view of the surgical field. The clamp is applied to the tissue surrounding the fibroid, allowing the surgeon to excise the fibroid with precision. The use of the Bonney clamp is crucial in maintaining hemostasis and ensuring a successful outcome of the surgery.
Advantages[edit | edit source]
The Bonney myomectomy clamp offers several advantages in surgical procedures:
- Enhanced Control: The design of the clamp provides the surgeon with enhanced control over the tissue, facilitating precise excision of fibroids.
- Reduced Blood Loss: By effectively clamping the tissue, the Bonney clamp helps in minimizing blood loss during the procedure.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, the clamp is durable and can withstand repeated sterilization processes.
