4 1/8″ Baby Vascular Clamp 60° Jaws Straight Shanks

The 4 1/8″ Baby Vascular Clamp 60° Jaws Straight Shanks is a specialized compact vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, positioning, and temporary occlusion of appropriately sized blood vessels. Its 4⅛-inch overall length combines 60° angled jaws with straight shanks, providing a practical configuration for precise access and controlled handling during delicate vascular and cardiovascular procedures. The 60° angled jaws allow the working end to approach a vessel from an offset direction, which can be advantageous when surrounding anatomy makes direct access difficult. This angled configuration can help the surgeon position the jaws around the intended vascular structure while maintaining a practical hand orientation and clear visualization of the operative field. The straight shanks provide a direct and stable instrument profile from the handle toward the angled working end. This combination of straight shanks and angled jaws allows the surgeon to maintain predictable control while benefiting from the specialized approach provided by the 60° jaw orientation. With an overall length of 4⅛ inches , this Baby Vascular Clamp offers a compact and maneuverable design. Its relatively short profile is well suited to confined operative fields where larger vascular clamps may be cumbersome. The compact dimensions allow close control during procedures involving smaller or delicately positioned vascular structures, subject to the surgeon’s clinical judgment. Vascular clamps are used when temporary localized control of blood flow is required as part of an established surgical technique. Depending on the procedure, this type of clamp may assist with vessel isolation, vascular repair, reconstruction, or other appropriate procedures involving temporary occlusion. The selection of clamp size and configuration should be based on the patient’s anatomy, vessel characteristics, and specific procedural requirements. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing helps maintain working-end alignment and dependable mechanical performance. The angled jaws should retain their intended geometry to support consistent positioning and controlled handling. Because the instrument is intended for vascular applications, careful handling is essential. The clamp should be applied using appropriate surgical technique and only with the amount of force necessary for the intended clinical purpose. Improper or excessive force can compromise delicate vascular tissue or damage the instrument. After use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the 60° angled jaws , hinge, and junction between the jaws and straight shanks. The instrument should be inspected for biological residue, corrosion, wear, deformation, or jaw misalignment before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Proper storage and handling can help protect the angled jaws from accidental deformation and preserve the instrument’s mechanical integrity. The 4⅛″ Baby Vascular Clamp 60° Jaws Straight Shanks combines a compact profile with a specialized 60° jaw configuration for controlled vascular access. Its straight shanks, precision-oriented working end, and durable construction make it a practical addition to professional vascular and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets.
