Sklar Carotid Atraumatic Bulldog Clamp
A bent, serrated bulldog clamp designed to occlude the carotid artery or similar vessels atraumatically during vascular surgery, available in more than one length.
The Sklar Carotid Atraumatic Bulldog Clamp is a small vessel-occluding clamp built specifically for temporary control of the carotid artery and similar vessels during vascular and neurovascular surgery. Its jaws are bent with a curve and finished with a fine serrated surface that grips the vessel wall firmly enough to stop flow while an atraumatic profile helps limit crushing injury to the delicate arterial tissue.
A spring mechanism holds the jaws closed with light, consistent pressure so the surgeon does not need to maintain manual grip during clamping, which is important in procedures such as carotid endarterectomy where precise, gentle occlusion protects the vessel from long term damage. This listing covers the clamp across its available sizes, so surgeons and procurement teams can select the length that matches the exposure and vessel diameter they are working with.
It is used by vascular surgeons and operating room staff and is reprocessed between cases according to the facility's sterilization protocol like other reusable surgical instruments.
