DeBakey Bulldog clamp Atrauma cvd 10cm

Clinical Application

This curved DeBakey bulldog provides atraumatic temporary occlusion of small to medium-caliber vessels during vascular, cardiovascular and microvascular procedures. It is used to control localized blood flow during delicate dissection, suturing and anastomosis, and to provide reliable hemostasis without crushing vessel walls or compromising intimal integrity. The curved profile facilitates application around vessels and behind structures where a straight clamp would be awkward.

Design & Configuration

The instrument employs a spring-action bulldog design with a curved shaft and atraumatic DeBakey-style jaws. The curved geometry improves approach angle and ergonomics in confined operative fields, allowing the surgeon to reach around grafts, cannulas or adjacent tissues while maintaining a clear line of sight. Atraumatic jaws distribute clamping force across a broader contact area to reduce focal pressure on the vessel wall, which is important when temporary occlusion is required during microvascular repair or cardiovascular procedures.
