DeBakey Bulldog clamp Atrauma cvd 7.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved atraumatic DeBakey bulldog clamp provides temporary occlusion of small- to medium-caliber vessels during cardiovascular, cardiothoracic, vascular and microsurgical procedures. The atraumatic jaw profile allows surgeons to achieve hemostasis and maintain vessel integrity during dissection, anastomosis, grafting and exposure of distal segments without unnecessary crushing injury to the intima.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's curved geometry improves access around tubular structures and into confined operative fields where a straight clamp would obstruct the view or working space. A spring-loaded, single-action bulldog design enables rapid, single-handed application and release. The atraumatic DeBakey-style jaws distribute pressure over the vessel wall to reduce focal compression and minimize endothelial damage while maintaining secure temporary occlusion. The 7.5 cm overall length provides reach for superficial and moderately deep exposures while keeping a low profile at the site.
