Does the design help with complex vascular access?
Absolutely. The clamp features a unique double-angled curvature that forms a basket shape. This specialized design is optimized for the challenging internal access required during cardiovascular anastomosis procedures.

The CensiTrac marking indicates that the instrument is integrated into the CensiTrac tracking system, allowing for improved management, sterilization tracking, and inventory oversight within a medical facility.
Are the materials safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is explicitly not manufactured with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments where latex-free instruments are required.
Does this clamp provide a secure hold during surgery?
Yes, it is equipped with a reliable ratcheted finger ring mechanism. This allows the surgeon to lock the clamp securely in place, maintaining consistent partial occlusion throughout the procedure.
Are the jaw tips designed for safe vessel manipulation?
The tips are specifically blunt and rounded. This design choice enhances safety during the delicate manipulation of vessels within the surgical site.
Does the instrument meet federal procurement standards?
