Debakey Carotis Atrauma Bulldog Clamp 9cm

Clinical Application

This small-profile vascular clamp is intended for controlled, temporary occlusion of small- to medium-sized vessels where atraumatic handling is required. Common clinical uses include carotid endarterectomy, microvascular anastomosis, and vessel control in head & neck or neurosurgical procedures. The atraumatic Debakey jaw design reduces the risk of intimal injury when proximal or distal control is needed in delicate vascular work.

Design & Configuration

The spring-loaded single-action (bulldog) configuration delivers consistent compressive force in a compact package, allowing rapid application and release without a ratchet. At 9 cm overall length the instrument offers a short working profile for use in confined operative fields and close to the incision. The Debakey-style atraumatic jaw geometry distributes pressure across the vessel wall to minimize localized trauma while maintaining secure occlusion.
