Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic control and manipulation of small-to-medium caliber blood vessels during vascular procedures. Common applications include temporary vessel occlusion, gentle tissue handling during preparation for anastomosis, vessel dissection and exposure in peripheral and cardiovascular surgery, and intraoperative hemostasis where preservation of the vessel intima is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft geometry provides direct alignment with the vessel for predictable, linear occlusion and is useful in both superficial and deeper operative fields. The atraumatic jaw profile distributes pressure across the vessel wall to minimize crushing and intimal injury, helping preserve vessel integrity for subsequent repair or anastomosis. The 23 cm overall length offers extended reach while maintaining tactile control at the tips for delicate vascular work.
