Hartmann Clamp

Hartmann Clamp

A Hartmann clamp (H. A. Ch. A. Hartmann) is an instrument that is used in surgery to clamp blood vessels to stop bleeding. It was invented by the French surgeon Hartmann in 1890.

The Hartmann clamp consists of two parts: the handle and the clamp. The handle is shaped like the letter “C” and is made of metal or plastic. The clamp is “U” shaped and made of metal or plastic.

When a Hartmann clamp is used, it is placed on the blood vessel and then clamped using a handle. This allows you to compress the vessel and stop the bleeding.

The Hartmann clamp is one of the most common instruments in surgery. It is used to clamp blood vessels during operations on the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs.

Despite its popularity, the Hartmann clamp has its drawbacks. One is that the clamp can damage surrounding tissue if used incorrectly. The clamp may also be difficult to use on small vessels.

Overall, the Hartmann clamp remains an important tool in surgery because it can quickly and effectively control bleeding. However, to use it correctly, you must have experience and knowledge in the field of surgery.

English surgeon Robert Jarvis proposed this invention in 1912. But for the first time, exactly who made such a device is unknown. Researchers are confident that it was either the German surgeon Karl von Hartmann or the French professor Theodore Levy. And in the United States, this device appeared after the National Association of Medical Devices contributed to its distribution.

In appearance, the Hartmann clamp is very different from the Bassignan device, which has a simpler design. It consists of the following elements:

* end design; * spring clamping part; *
