Surgical clamps designed for the atraumatic grasping and/or compression of the meatus and polypoid growths (i.e., caruncles) in the urinary membrane of the meatus in women. These clamps are typically handheld, manual instruments including two parts pivoted at the center with two straight, tapering, distal jaws and a ratchet handle. Urethral meatus/caruncle surgical clamps are used in meatotomy and in the excision of caruncles.
