Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic temporary occlusion of blood vessels, this clamp provides reliable vessel control during dissection, anastomosis, and hemostatic maneuvers. It is typically used in vascular, general, cardiothoracic, and transplant procedures where precise, low‑trauma occlusion of small to medium caliber vessels is required. The 24 cm length offers reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining fine control at the tip.
Design & Configuration
The Fig.1 configuration features fine, atraumatic jaws that distribute compressive force along the vessel wall to minimize intimal injury while providing secure occlusion. The 24 cm shaft length balances working reach and tactile feedback, enabling use in both superficial and deeper cavities. A streamlined profile reduces obstruction in the surgical field and aids visualization when working around delicate structures.
