Abstract
A surgical clamp comprising a pair of arms, each arm being interconnected at one end to one end of the other arm by a flexible, resilient member normally urging said arms apart while maintaining facing surfaces. A clamping strip of resilient material is mounted on the arms, the resilient material being softer than the material of the clamping arms. A releasable ratchet assembly including a ratchet body and flexible tubing is positioned on the opposite end of one of the arms extending toward and being engageable with a holding lip on the other arm, so that when the arms are moved toward each other, the arms can be held in fixed relative positions, mounted to said body.
