    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Mechanical stapling devices are widely used in pulmonary operations.
    • Existing clamps for grasping pulmonary tissue can lead to slippage.
    • Improved instrument design is needed for safer pulmonary resections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel lung clamp designed for use with mechanical stapling devices.
    • To address the issue of tissue slippage during pulmonary resections.
    • To enhance the stability and safety of surgical procedures involving the lungs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized lung clamp.
    • Incorporation of vertical grooves and fine tapered spikes with opposing holes in the clamp jaws.
    • Application of the clamp during pulmonary resection procedures using mechanical staplers.

    Main Results:

    • The developed lung clamp effectively prevents slippage of pulmonary tissue.
    • The instrument's design with vertical grooves and spikes ensures a secure grip.
    • Successful use of the clamp in pulmonary resections with mechanical stapling devices.

    Conclusions:

    • The new lung clamp design overcomes the limitations of previous instruments.
    • This specialized clamp improves the reliability and safety of pulmonary resections.
    • The instrument represents a significant advancement in surgical tools for lung surgery.
