Clinical Application
Small, spring-actuated arterial clamps used for temporary occlusion and atraumatic vessel control. This curved, delicate bulldog is intended to isolate and occlude small vessels during microvascular anastomosis, vascular exposure and control in cardiothoracic procedures, and other situations where short-term, precise occlusion is required without crushing or tearing the vessel wall. The atraumatic jaws help preserve endothelial integrity during clamp application and removal.
Design & Configuration
The curved, delicate geometry provides improved access and visualization in confined operative fields and along contoured anatomy. A spring-loaded action delivers consistent, gentle compression appropriate for small-caliber arteries and veins while allowing rapid placement and release. The small profile minimizes obstruction of the surgical field and facilitates use alongside microinstruments and suturing during anastomosis.
