DeBakey Bulldog clamp Atrauma str 8.5cm, 30mm

Clinical Application

Small, spring‑loaded vascular occlusion for atraumatic temporary control of arterial and venous flow. This clamp is intended for use during mobilization, anastomosis, suturing, and vessel isolation in vascular, cardiothoracic, transplant, and general surgical procedures where precise, gentle occlusion is required. Its atraumatic jaw profile minimizes endothelial damage, making it suitable for handling delicate vessels and grafts.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides direct approach and tactile control in open fields and shallow cavities. The bulldog-style spring mechanism delivers consistent, localized compressive force without the need for a separate locking ratchet, facilitating rapid application and release. The DeBakey-style atraumatic jaws distribute pressure along the vessel wall rather than at discrete points, helping to reduce intimal injury during temporary occlusion. The combination of a compact overall length and a 30 mm jaw span balances reach with secure coverage for small-to-medium caliber vessels.
