Linnartz clamp

The Linaarzzi clamp is a medical clamp used during certain types of operations, such as laparoscopy.

This clamp secures organs in a certain position during surgical manipulation, but after completion of the manipulation itself, the clamp is removed. The clamp consists of two levers that are fixed on a plastic or metal

The clamp was developed by German dentist Erich Linnartz. He actively used this device in his works, as he conceived it as a simpler and more effective solution compared to the already known jaw taxes, which was due to the often long and labor-intensive process of teeth straightening.

The usual method of tissue separation leads to rapid healing of the wound, without much scarring. This is one of the main advantages of this type of surgery and direct evidence that the Linnatzart clamp can indeed be considered the best method for stretching soft tissue.
