Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling and temporary occlusion of blood vessels, this instrument is used to secure small- to medium-caliber arteries and veins during vascular procedures. It assists vascular surgeons and surgical teams during anastomosis, vessel mobilization, hemostasis, and delicate dissection where minimizing endothelial trauma is critical.
Design & Configuration
The straight 31.5 cm length provides extended reach for deeper operative fields while maintaining direct line-of-sight control. The slender shaft and fine, atraumatic jaw interface distribute pressure across the vessel wall to reduce intimal injury during clamping or manipulation. The straight configuration facilitates precise alignment of the instrument with the vessel axis, improving control in both open and limited-access exposures.
