Clinical Application
This straight atraumatic Glover bulldog clamp is designed for temporary occlusion of small to medium-sized vessels during vascular, general, cardiothoracic, and microsurgical procedures. The atraumatic jaw surface allows vessel control and hemostasis while minimizing endothelial trauma, making it suitable for applications such as vessel isolation during anastomosis, bypass grafting preparation, or short-term hemostatic control in confined operative fields.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides a direct line of approach to vessels and target tissue, simplifying placement along the vessel axis in narrow working corridors. The bulldog pattern uses a compact spring-action mechanism to deliver consistent closing force with rapid application and release, and the atraumatic jaw surfaces reduce crush injury to delicate vessel walls. The short, low-profile jaws preserve visibility at the operative site and allow multiple clamps to be deployed in close proximity when needed.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Bulldog clamp (Glover pattern)
- Configuration: straight
- Length: 8.0 cm
- Jaw pattern: atraumatic jaws for vessel protection
- Action: spring-action for quick application and release
- Typical use: temporary occlusion of small–medium vessels for hemostasis and vascular control

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability in repeated reprocessing cycles. A precision spring mechanism provides consistent clamping force, and the atraumatic jaw surfaces are profiled to minimize intimal injury while maintaining reliable vessel occlusion. The instrument is designed for routine sterilization and repeat use.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
