9" Glover Atrial Appendage Clamp

Controlled Access for Atrial Appendage Handling

The 9" Glover Atrial Appendage Clamp is a surgical clamp intended for controlled handling of the atrial appendage during applicable procedures. Its 9-inch overall length provides useful reach when the operative field is deep or access around adjacent structures is limited, helping support deliberate positioning while keeping the instrument within the operative workflow. The clamp’s named design makes it particularly relevant to cardiovascular applications involving the atrial appendage, while its clamp format also fits appropriate general-surgery handling tasks. Used with established technique and facility protocols, it supports organized tissue management and precise instrument control without adding unnecessary complexity to the setup.

Use Cases

• Support controlled handling and positioning of the atrial appendage during applicable cardiovascular procedures.
• Provide extended reach when access to the operative field is limited during cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Assist with deliberate clamp placement and removal where an atrial appendage clamp is appropriate.
• Support relevant general-surgery workflows requiring careful handling with a purpose-specific clamp.
• Integrate into instrument setups where a 9-inch clamp helps maintain access to the working field.

Specifications

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the clamp according to the facility’s validated protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the instrument before and after use for visible residue, damage, alignment concerns, or impaired clamp action.
• Handle the clamp carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect its working surfaces and mechanism.
• Store in a manner that keeps the instrument clean, protected, and readily identifiable for the next procedure.

General use; follow facility protocols.
