UMD: Clamps designed to compress anatomic structures and/or to bring together several isolated objects and/or tissue by pressing, fastening, or binding them firmly during postmortem procedures (e.g., autopsy, dissection). These clamps are typically handheld, manual instruments including two parts pivoted at the center with blunt distal ends; they are usually stronger than surgical clamps and may cause some degree of trauma to tissues. Dedicated postmortem clamps are used as anatomic instruments or to hold ancillary devices in autopsies and dissection procedures.
