Martin Peripheral Vascular Clamp 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic temporary occlusion of peripheral arteries and veins, this clamp is used to control blood flow during exposure, dissection, anastomosis, grafting, dialysis access creation, and peripheral vascular repair. Its profile is suited for limb, carotid, and other peripheral procedures where precise vessel control and minimal intimal trauma are required.

Design & Configuration

The 18 cm length provides extended reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control at the handles. A slender jaw profile and atraumatic contact surfaces allow secure occlusion with reduced crush injury to the vessel wall. The ratchet locking mechanism permits incremental closure pressure and stable retention of the clamp during suturing or graft placement. A precision box-lock joint preserves alignment and repeatable jaw action through repeated use.
