The iTClamp® quickly controls critical bleeding by closing the skin to create a temporary, contained hematoma until surgical repair. The iTClamp® is a self-locking trauma clamp with needles that penetrate the skin to evert the skin edges between pressure bars of the device and anchor it to the skin to reduce slippage and leakage. Pressure is evenly distributed across the bars, which seal the skin over a wound. An adjustable locking mechanism increases or decreases pressure across the wound to achieve a fluid tight seal. The iTClamp Model 9200 is a non-sterile training product, not for clinical use.
A device designed for the temporary, atraumatic approximation of the edges of a wound during a surgical procedure. It is typically a small, usually metallic, instrument with two blades joined at the mid-portion, or made of a single alpha-shaped part. It is typically applied manually. The device is mainly used to arrest bleeding (i.e., haemostasis); it may be used to facilitate the placing of sutures to close wounds. This is a single-use device.
