A valuable aid to micro instrument management during surgery. Instruments are placed in the beaker with their tips immersed in physiological saline solution when not in immediate use. This keeps the instruments clean and functional since blood and tissue residues will not harden on them. The instrument tips are protected from damage by the soft silicone rubber bottom and the instruments are held separate from each other in a ready-to-grasp position. The solution which the instruments bring with them from the beaker helps to keep the operative field moist.

Clamp size and clamp pressure

When choosing the right size clamp for your work, clamp pressure is an important consideration. Clamp pressure is determined by the closing force of the clamp (in grams), divided by the area of the vessel wall that is compressed between the jaws (in square millimeters). Thus, the smaller the vessel, the higher the pressure exerted.

Each size of clamp has its own different and carefully calibrated closing force. Each clamp size is designed for a specific range of vessel diameters (Fig. 1).

Despite the wide range of closing forces, the pressure exerted by each clamp, big or small, remains consistent throughout the series. Each size of clamp exerts a pressure of 5gm/mm2 when used on the largest vessel in its range, and 15gm/mm2 when used on the smallest vessel. Even at the higher range, S
