6 3/4″ Dale Fem Pop Clamp Medium

The 6 3/4″ Dale Fem Pop Clamp Medium is a specialized peripheral vascular surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled vessel manipulation, positioning, isolation, and temporary occlusion during selected vascular procedures. With an overall length of 6.75 inches , this clamp provides useful working reach while maintaining practical maneuverability in the operative field. The Dale Fem Pop Clamp is associated with vascular procedures involving the femoral and popliteal regions , where controlled temporary vessel occlusion may be required. The instrument can help provide localized vascular control during procedures involving vessel exposure, repair, reconstruction, bypass-related techniques, or other interventions requiring temporary management of blood flow. The exact indication and application should always be determined by a qualified vascular surgeon. The medium configuration provides a balanced working profile for appropriately sized vascular structures. Medium-sized vascular clamps can be useful when a compact clamp is required but a larger working surface would be unnecessary. Proper instrument selection should be based on the target vessel’s size, anatomical location, tissue characteristics, and the specific surgical technique. At 6.75 inches overall length , the Dale Fem Pop Clamp provides sufficient reach for selected operative fields while allowing controlled manipulation by the surgical team. Its length can be useful when working around the femoral or popliteal vascular anatomy, where access and instrument positioning may vary according to the surgical approach. The instrument’s vascular clamp design supports controlled application around the intended vessel. Proper positioning is essential to ensure that the working end engages the target structure appropriately. The clamp should be selected according to the anatomy and procedure rather than solely by overall length or instrument name. The Dale Fem Pop Clamp may be incorporated into peripheral vascular, cardiovascular, and general vascular surgical instrument sets . Depending on the exact configuration and surgical technique, applications may include vessel isolation, temporary occlusion, positioning, manipulation, repair, and reconstruction. These applications require appropriate surgical training and adherence to established clinical protocols. When applying the clamp, the working end should be positioned accurately and only the force necessary for the intended clinical purpose should be used. Excessive compression, twisting, bending, or inappropriate leverage should be avoided to help minimize potential vascular tissue trauma and maintain instrument integrity. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing supports consistent mechanical operation and reliable alignment of the working components. A smooth finish also facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. After use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working jaws, hinge, and adjoining surfaces , where blood and biological residue may accumulate. The clamp should be inspected for corrosion, wear, deformation, surface damage, and proper alignment before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process compatible with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Appropriate storage and careful handling help preserve the instrument’s mechanical performance and working geometry over repeated use. The 6 3/4″ Dale Fem Pop Clamp Medium combines a useful 6.75-inch overall length with a medium vascular working configuration. Its specialized design makes it a practical choice for professional peripheral vascular and cardiovascular instrument sets requiring controlled femoral and popliteal vessel manipulation and temporary occlusion.
