DeBakey Bulldog clamp Atrauma cvd 30mm, 8cm

Clinical Application

This spring‑loaded bulldog clamp is engineered for atraumatic temporary occlusion of medium-sized arteries and veins. It is used to control flow during vascular anastomosis, grafting, vessel mobilization, and focal hemostasis in cardiovascular, thoracic, transplant, and general vascular procedures. The atraumatic DeBakey jaw profile minimizes endothelial and intimal trauma while providing secure compression sufficient for short‑term vessel control.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry and compact 8 cm overall length provide improved line of sight and access in confined operative fields, allowing the surgeon to approach vessels at an angle without obstructing the operative plane. The DeBakey atraumatic jaw pattern distributes compressive force along a longitudinal contact surface rather than at pointed teeth, reducing crush injury to delicate vascular tissue. As a bulldog clamp, the instrument employs a spring‑action mechanism to deliver consistent, controlled bite pressure for temporary occlusion and rapid placement or release.
