Vascular Clamp Archives

A Vascular Clamp is a specialized surgical instrument designed for the temporary occlusion of blood vessels during vascular, cardiothoracic, and transplant surgery. These clamps are engineered to be atraumatic, featuring fine serrations, padded jaws, or special coatings that grip the vessel wall securely without causing crush injury or damaging the delicate intimal lining. Available in various shapes (straight, curved, angled) and sizes, they are critical for controlling blood flow during procedures like aneurysm repair, bypass grafting, and organ transplantation, where preserving vessel integrity is paramount for successful outcomes.

Key Features:

Atraumatic jaws designed to occlude vessels without causing intimal damage.
Provides secure, temporary occlusion to control bleeding during vascular procedures.
Essential for vascular anastomosis, cardiac surgery, and organ transplant.
Available in multiple configurations (e.g., DeBakey, Satinsky, Cooley) for different vessels and angles.
Often features a locking mechanism to maintain secure occlusion without slippage.
A fundamental category of instruments in any vascular or cardiothoracic surgical set.
