Abstract
A surgical clamp is provided for insertion into a clamp driving device. The surgical clamp has two parallel anchoring legs linked by a common rectilinear section (1c) or yoke. The rectilinear section or yoke is suitable for being inserted into the driving device. The rectilinear section or yoke has a flat top, a bottom, and two edges. The two edges merge with the flat top by a generously rounded profile. On the one hand, the two edges merge with the bottom by an inclined flank at an obtuse angle with respect to the vertical plane. At least one of the insides of the legs, the outsides of the legs, and bottom of the yoke is serrated.
