Clinical Application
Small, spring-loaded vascular occlusion for temporary control of blood flow in confined operative fields. The angled-jaw geometry is intended to facilitate atraumatic clamping of small-to-medium caliber arteries and veins during vascular, cardiac, microvascular and reconstructive procedures, as well as for pedicle control and targeted hemostasis during anastomosis or graft placement. The compact profile is useful when space is limited or when an angled approach improves access without retraction of surrounding tissue.
Design & Configuration
The angled jaw directs compressive force along an offset plane, improving visualization and instrument alignment in deep or narrow pockets. The short 5.0 cm length and 12 mm jaw width provide a low-profile bite and precise occlusion while minimizing instrument bulk. A spring-action mechanism delivers consistent, repeatable pressure for temporary vessel control and reduces the need for an external locking mechanism, allowing quick application and removal during delicate maneuvers.
