A surgical clamp may have two elongated members with a bight portion that joins the two elongated members at a proximal end of the clamp and that may bias the two elongated members in an open position at a distal end. The bight portion may have one or more engagement features, such as a slotted aperture or other engagement or coupling feature. A clasp mechanism at the distal end of the clamp may have a male or first component disposed on or adjacent one of the two elongated members and a female or second component disposed on or adjacent the other of the two elongated members at the distal end of the clamp.

1. A surgical clamp having a proximal end and a distal end, the surgical clamp comprising: a first elongated member having a distal end and a proximal end;a second elongated member having a distal end and a proximal end;a bight portion joining the first and second elongated members at the proximal end of the first elongated member of the surgical clamp and the proximal end of the second elongated member of the surgical clamp, the bight portion including a flexible hinge having an opening formed through a thickness of the flexible hinge and extending in a direction from the proximal end of the surgical clamp toward the distal end of the surgical clamp, and configured to receive at least a portion of a surgical clamp installation tool;a closure mechanism operable to retain the surgical clamp in a substantially closed position; anda padding material adjacent at least a portion of at least one of the first elongated member and the second elongated member;wherein the bight portion defines a passage-forming section of a single continuous passage and the passage forming section is located towards the proximal end of the surgical clamp when the surgical clamp is in the substantially closed position;wherein portions of the first and second elongated members, when the surgical clamp is in the substantially closed position, are spaced apart from one another to define an elongated section of the single continuous passage and the single continuous passage includes the passage-forming section and the elongated section;wherein the passage-forming section of the single continuous passage, as defined by the bight portion, has a greater maximum width than the elongated section of the single continuous passage, as defined by the first and second elongated members, when the surgical clamp is in the substantially closed position. 2. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the closure mechanism comprises a male component disposed towards the distal end of one of the first and second elongated members and a female component disposed towards the distal end on the other one of the first and second elongated members. 3. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the bight portion is operable to bias the first and second elongated members in an open position at a distal end of the surgical clamp. 4. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the padding material is adjacent at least a portion of the bight portion. 5. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the flexible hinge has an exterior surface and an interior surface, and the opening of the flexible hinge extends from the exterior surface to the interior surface. 6. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the first and second elongated members are attached to elongated members of a spring component that serves as the flexible hinge. 7. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second elongated members comprise titanium. 8. The surgical clamp of claim 1, wherein the padding material comprises silicone. 9. A bariatric clamp having a proximal end and a distal end, the bariatric clamp comprising: a first elongated member having a first closure portion disposed adjacent a first end of the first elongated member;a second elongated member having a second closure portion disposed adjacent a first end of the second elongated member; anda bight member having a flexible hinge positioned adjacent a second end of the first elongated member and a second end of the second elongated member, the flexible hinge having an opening formed through a thickness of the flexible hinge and extending in a direction from the proximal end of the bariatric clamp toward the distal end of the bariatric clamp, and configured to receive at least a portion of a bariatric clamp installation tool,wherein the first elongated member and second elongated member comprise a partition-forming section of a single continuous passage of the bariatric clamp when the bariatric clamp is closed by the first closure portion disposed adjacent the first end of the first elongated member and the second closure portion disposed adjacent the first end of the second elongated member, and wherein a passage-forming section of the single continuous passage is formed adjacent the bight member of the bariatric clamp when the bariatric clamp is closed;wherein the passage-forming section of the single continuous passage has a greater maximum width than the partition-forming section of the single continuous passage, when the bariatric clamp is closed. 10. The bariatric clamp of claim 9, wherein at least one of the first elongated member and second elongated member comprises a rigid member having a padding material adjacent at least a portion of the rigid member. 11. The bariatric clamp of claim 10, wherein the rigid member comprises titanium. 12. The bariatric clamp of claim 10, wherein the padding material comprises silicone. 13. The bariatric clamp of claim 10, wherein the padding material is adjacent at least a portion of the bight member. 14. The bariatric clamp of claim 9, wherein the first and second closure portions are operable to retain the bariatric clamp in a substantially closed position. 15. The bariatric clamp of claim 9, wherein the first closure portion comprises a male component, and the second closure portion comprises a female component. 16. The bariatric clamp of claim 9, wherein the bight member is operable to bias the first and second elongated members in an open position at a distal end of the bariatric clamp. 17. The bariatric clamp of claim 9, wherein the flexible hinge has an exterior surface and an interior surface, and the opening of the flexible hinge extends from the exterior surface to the interior surface.
