Husfeldt Atrauma Clamp 17cm DeBakey Bulldog Atraumatic Fcps 12cm

Clinical Application

These atraumatic instruments are intended for controlled, temporary occlusion and delicate tissue handling where minimizing endothelial or tissue trauma is critical. The DeBakey Bulldog (12 cm) provides concise, spring‑loaded compression for short-term vessel occlusion during vascular, cardiac, microvascular, and transplant procedures. The longer Husfeldt atraumatic clamp (17 cm) gives additional reach for exposure, retraction, and atraumatic grasping of soft tissue and pedicles in open general and thoracic cases.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action bulldog design delivers consistent, non‑locking compression that is easy to apply and release, providing temporary hemostasis without the crushing force of toothed clamps. The atraumatic jaw geometry—typical of DeBakey-style forceps—uses a fine, longitudinal contact surface to distribute pressure and reduce focal trauma to vessels and delicate tissues. The longer Husfeldt configuration increases working reach and access in deeper operative fields while preserving atraumatic contact at the tip.
