Castaneda Neonatal clamp very deli. cvd 12cm

Clinical Application

This small Castaneda-style clamp is intended for precise vascular control and atraumatic occlusion in neonatal and pediatric procedures. Its delicate curved jaws are suited to hold and occlude small-caliber vessels such as umbilical vessels, tiny peripheral arteries and veins, or fragile soft tissue during neonatal surgery, neonatal intensive care procedures, and small-field pediatric operations where minimizing crush injury is critical.

Design & Configuration

The curved (cvd) profile allows the working tips to approach vessels at an oblique angle, improving visibility and access in confined neonatal operative fields. A short overall length (12 cm) provides fine tactile control appropriate for small hands and delicate anatomy. The "very delicate" jaw geometry concentrates clamping force on a small surface area to achieve secure occlusion while limiting tissue compression, and a locking handle permits sustained closure without constant manual pressure.
