Clinical Application
This compact, spring‑loaded occlusion clamp is designed for temporary control of blood flow in small vessels and other tubular structures. Its 3.5 cm mini profile is useful in confined operative fields encountered in microsurgery, ophthalmic procedures, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, and other specialties where precise, low‑profile vessel occlusion is required. The clamp provides atraumatic grip to minimize intimal injury while enabling short‑term hemostasis during dissection, anastomosis, graft handling, and localized vessel control.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry delivers a direct approach to superficial or shallow targets and is particularly helpful when space or line‑of‑sight is limited. The Bulldog-style spring mechanism provides consistent, reproducible closing force for reliable temporary occlusion without manual compression. A mini jaw profile reduces instrument bulk at the working tip while serrated, atraumatic surfaces improve grip and reduce slippage, helping to protect delicate vessel walls during manipulation.
