Abstract We designed a new clamp (Inokuchi liver clamp), mainly used for partial or wedge resection of the liver. This clamp is gently curved and has 9 non-traumatic teeth with double step locking devices at the tips. This clamp proved to be most useful for limited hepatic resection, a common procedure for primary liver cancer associated with cirrhosis, however, it can also be used for major resections. From August 1981 to February 1984, this clamp was used by our surgical team in 45 resections of the liver for primary and secondary malignant tumors and benign hemangiomas.
