These clamps are typically handheld, manual instruments including two parts pivoted at the center with a distal blade that includes teeth, another blade with a coupling longitudinal serration, and a handle with a ratchet mechanism. Strap muscle clamps are used in conjunction with a thyroid dissector for division of the thyroid muscles during thyroidectomy.
