Abstract
A surgical clamp having a one-piece body of resilient plastics material with a soft, resilient strip at the clamping surfaces. The clamp body has two arms joined by a resilient member which normally spreads the arms apart but which permits the arms to be pressed into generally parallel clamping positions. The arms are held in various relative positions by a ratchet which extends from one arm and engages the other arm and which permits adjustment of clamping pressure. The arms also have projections adjacent to the clamping surfaces thereof which prevent sideways dislodgement of a clamped part.
