Features and benefits
– Permits quick and efficient compression
and stabilization of fractures or luxations, and
control of hemorrhaging in the unstable posterior
pelvic ring
– Gains time for subsequent diagnostic or
therapeutic procedures
– Allows passing the patient through a CT-gantry
without removing the device
– Provides unrestricted access to the abdomen,
pelvis or proximal femur
– Can be applied quickly outside the operating room,
e.g. in the emergency room or on the x-ray table
In cases of sacral fractures or disruptions of the
sacroiliac joint, there is often concomitant blood
loss from the fracture surface and from the veins of
the presacral plexus. The use of the pelvic C-clamp
in those settings can save lives.
Direct transverse compression of the sacroiliac
joint controls bleeding from the fracture surfaces
and from the presacral plexus. With the pelvic
C-clamp applied, there is still adequate access
for a laporotomy or tamponade.
