Clinical Application
Designed to provide temporary, atraumatic occlusion and controlled approximation of vascular ends during anastomosis, this clamp is used in peripheral and central vascular procedures where secure vessel control and unobstructed access for suturing are required. Common applications include end‑to‑end arterial and venous anastomoses, bypass graft attachment, vessel repair, and procedures that demand precise alignment of vessel edges while minimizing intimal trauma.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's extended overall length enhances reach into deep or confined operative fields while keeping working hands clear of the suture line. Narrow jaws concentrate clamping force across a small contact area to occlude blood flow effectively while the atraumatic jaw profile helps preserve vessel integrity and reduce crush injury. A locking mechanism provides stable occlusion and frees the assistant during suturing, supporting reproducible tension and consistent hemostatic control throughout the anastomotic repair.
