Micro Vascular Clamps

Microvascular Clamps
Microvascular clamps are surgical instruments that are used to control blood flow in blood vessels during fine procedures. These micro clamps help with controlled movement in fine vascular regions in procedures like tissue transfer and free-flap surgery. NewMed offers these tools in German stainless steel for the best results without causing wall damage.
Types of Microvascular Clamps
There are a variety of microvascular clamps, each with a specific vessel size, jaw type, and blood control. The single microvascular clamp is a microsurgical instrument that occludes the vessel at one point, and its pattern depends on the thickness and diameter of the vessel. The jaws of the microvascular clamp are straight.
Similarly, double microvascular clamps are microsurgical instruments that use two clamping points for occlusion. For instance, an ABB-11A double clamp is used for occluding arteries. These clamps provide control during fine surgical procedures like plastic surgery.
Microvascular Clamps Instrument Chart
| Instrument | Configuration | Uses |
| Micro Vessel Clamp | Features a straight tip in stainless steel in different sizes. | For occluding small vessels during microsurgical procedures. |
| ABB-11A Double Clamp | Features a double-clamp pattern with a matte finish. | For controlled occlusion of thick-walled arteries during vascular procedures. |
| Micro Kitzmiller Clamp | Features an angled, long shank with DeBakey atraumatic jaws; available in left- and right-angled versions. | For controlling vessels in procedures with small-caliber vessels. |
| ABB-11V Double Clamp | Features a double clamp with exact jaw dimensions. | For occluding vessels within the model’s specified size range. |
| ABB-1A Double Clamp | Features a double-clamp style with a frame and matte finish. | For vascular occlusion where its configuration and pressure are needed. |
| ABB-1V Double Clamp | Features a straight double clamp with a changeable clamp press. | For general vascular occlusion during procedures. |
| DeBakey Cross-Action Bulldog Clamp | Features a cross-action bulldog-style for vessel occlusion. | For temporary control of blood flow in specific microvascular procedures. |
| Micro Clamp Applying Forceps | Features a flat handle without a lock to apply vessel clamps. | For controlled handling and applying of microvascular clamps. |
How to Choose Microvascular Clamps
- Align the clamp pattern with the diameter and wall thickness of the vessel.
- Choose length, jaw, and tip patterns for the area.
- Choose the double clamp for thicker vessels to control blood flow.
- Select a single clamp configuration in confined surgical areas.
- Select a reusable, autoclavable structure for reprocessing.
- Check the customization requirements.
- Choose the clamp with the clamp-applying forceps for controlled handling in the procedure.
- Confirm the documentation and certification of the manufacturer.

FAQs
Q1: What is a microvascular clamp and its uses?
A microvascular clamp is a surgical instrument that is used to control blood flow in the vessels only during microsurgery procedures.
Q2: Single vs. double microvascular clamp: What is the difference?
Single microvascular clamps are used in narrow and confined regions where the vessels are very small. But double microvascular clamps are used to occlude blood flow in thicker blood vessels during a procedure.
Q3: How to choose microvascular clamp size by vessel diameter?
A safe way to choose the sizes of microvascular clamps is to choose a jaw length that is two or three times bigger than the external diameter of the vessel. This way, the clamp will occlude the blood flow without damaging the vessel walls.
Q4: Can I buy microvascular clamps in stainless steel?
Yes. You can get microvascular clamps from NewMed Instruments in different configurations and styles in standard German stainless steel.
