DeBakey Bulldog clamp Atrauma str 10.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary vascular occlusion, this straight atraumatic bulldog clamp is used to control blood flow during vessel dissection, anastomosis, grafting and microvascular procedures. Its DeBakey-style atraumatic jaws permit secure occlusion of small-to-medium caliber arteries and veins while minimizing endothelial injury, making it appropriate for vascular, general and specialty cases where gentle handling of the vessel wall is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight, compact geometry provides direct access and alignment in confined operative fields and allows the clamp to be positioned along the vessel axis for predictable occlusion. The DeBakey atraumatic jaw profile disperses clamping pressure across a broader surface area to reduce focal intimal compression. A spring-actuated mechanism supplies consistent closing force for transient occlusion without the bulk of larger clamps, supporting fine control during delicate maneuvers.
