Clinical Application
Designed for temporary vascular occlusion, this Glover atraumatic bulldog clamp is used to obtain hemostasis and control blood flow during delicate vessel dissection, anastomosis, graft preparation, and other procedures where minimal vessel trauma is critical. Its atraumatic jaw profile reduces the risk of intimal injury, making it suitable for microvascular, plastic/reconstructive, peripheral vascular, cardiothoracic, and general surgical applications that require short-term clamping of small arteries and veins.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry provides improved access and visualization in confined operative fields and allows the clamp to conform to vessel paths and tissue planes. As a spring-loaded bulldog pattern, it offers reliable self-retention with controlled closing force to hold vessels securely without excessive crushing. The atraumatic jaw interface distributes pressure across the vessel wall to protect delicate tissues during temporary occlusion.
