Potts/Glover Anastomosis Clamp 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled temporary occlusion during anastomosis and suturing, this clamp is used to isolate vessel or bowel segments while the surgeon places sutures. The 24 cm length gives reach into deeper operative fields in open vascular and general surgery procedures, enabling secure proximal and distal control with minimal instrument exchanges. It is commonly used during arterial anastomosis, intestinal repair, and other procedures that require atraumatic temporary occlusion for precise suturing and hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a ratcheting handle and box-lock hinge to deliver reproducible clamping force and secure locking during tissue approximation. The elongated shaft provides increased reach for deep or narrow wounds, while the jaw geometry is configured to distribute occlusive pressure evenly across the tissue to reduce focal trauma. The ratchet allows incremental bite control, so the surgeon can adjust clamping force during delicate vascular or bowel work without repeated repositioning.
