Clinical Application
Small, spring-loaded vascular clamps used to provide temporary focal occlusion of blood vessels and secure small pedicles or tubing during surgical procedures. The straight, serrated jaw profile offers positive grip on vessel walls for controlled hemostasis during vascular, general, plastic/reconstructive, and microsurgical procedures where a compact clamp is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight jaw orientation gives direct, inline access to a vessel in confined operative fields and along linear dissections. Serrations along the jaw increase friction and resist slippage on wet tissue or vessel adventitia. The spring-loaded (bulldog) mechanism delivers consistent closing force and quick single-handed application and release, while the 6 cm overall length maintains a low profile for use in deep or narrow exposures.
