Abstract
A surgical clamp is provided for insertion into a clamp driving device. The surgical clamp has two parallel anchoring legs linked by a common rectilinear section (1c) or yoke. The rectilinear section or yoke is suitable for being inserted into the driving device. The rectilinear section or yoke has a flat top, a bottom, and two edges. The two edges merge with the flat top by a generously rounded profile. On the one hand, the two edges merge with the bottom by an inclined flank at an obtuse angle with respect to the vertical plane. At least one of the insides of the legs, the outsides of the legs, and bottom of the yoke is serrated.
Claims4
A surgical clamp comprising two parallel anchoring legs coupled to a yoke suitable for insertion into a driving device the yoke having a flat top, a bottom, a middle height, two long edges and two short edges, the edges being coupled to the flat top by a round profile and the bottom by an inclined flank forming an obtuse angle .alpha. with respect to the vertical plane, the round profile being made up of an arc of a circle with a central angle of substantially 90.degree., the inclined flank being shaped directly in line with the round profile, a transition area between the round profile and the inclined flank is located roughly in the middle of the height of the yoke.
