Bonney myomectomy clamp
Bonney Myomectomy Clamp
The Bonney Myomectomy Clamp (pronunciation: /ˈbɒni maɪəˈmɛktəmi klæmp/) is a specialized surgical instrument used in gynecology procedures, specifically in myomectomy operations.
Etymology
The Bonney Myomectomy Clamp is named after British gynecologist Sir Ernest Bonney, who made significant contributions to the field of gynecology in the early 20th century. The term "myomectomy" is derived from the Greek words "myo" (muscle) and "ectomy" (removal), referring to the surgical removal of uterine fibroids or myomas.
Description
The Bonney Myomectomy Clamp is a sturdy, double-ended instrument with a unique design that allows for the secure clamping of tissue during myomectomy procedures. One end of the clamp is typically used to grasp and stabilize the myoma, while the other end is used to control bleeding by clamping the blood vessels supplying the myoma.
