Payr intestinal clamp

THE FIRST VIVA QUESTION

What is its use?

Applies a crushing grip to bowel in selected resection procedures.

Explore the photo before the answer. Zoom into the jaws, inspect the locking mechanism and compare the available reference views.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Heavy intestinal clamp construction.
  2. Broad opposed working blades.
  3. Strong locking mechanism; configurations vary.
Don’t confuse it with…

A non-crushing Doyen clamp is used where preservation of the compressed bowel is required.

02 / PARTS

Name the parts.

Point to each part on your specimen as you say its name.

  1. Handles
  2. Hinge
  3. Locking mechanism
  4. Opposed clamping blades
03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.
