Abstract
A dual muscle clamp used in ocular surgery. Two pairs of spaced jaws are connected to a dual element handle. The handle elements are pivotally connected together to move the jaws between clamping and spread conditions to clamp and release tissue. Spring portions on the handle elements bias the jaws to the spread condition. A spring biased hook on one handle element interlinks with the edge of an opening on the other handle element to latch the jaws in the clamping condition. Opposed pointed teeth on the jaws interfit in the clamped condition and pierce the tissue clamped between the jaws. Semi-cylindrical portions on the handle elements cooperatively define a cylinder for comfortable gripping and careful and precise control with a single hand.
