Leland Jones Peripheral Vascular Clamp Angled 195mm Thoracic Clamp

The Leland Jones Peripheral Vascular Clamp Angled 195mm Thoracic Clamp is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, temporary occlusion, and positioning of peripheral blood vessels during appropriate surgical procedures. Its angled configuration provides a practical approach to vessels in anatomically restricted operative fields, making it a useful component of vascular, thoracic, and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets. With an overall length of approximately 195mm , this Leland Jones vascular clamp provides a useful balance between operative reach and precise handling. The length allows the working jaws to access vascular structures while keeping the handles in a convenient position for the surgeon. This can be particularly beneficial when working around deeper vessels or within confined surgical spaces. The angled design is an important functional characteristic of the instrument. By positioning the jaws at an angle relative to the handles, the clamp can approach a vessel from a more suitable direction than a straight clamp in selected procedures. This may improve access around adjacent anatomical structures and allow the operator to maintain a controlled hand position during vascular manipulation. Peripheral vascular clamps are designed to provide temporary control of blood flow when required during vascular procedures. The Leland Jones clamp can be selected for appropriate applications involving vessel preparation, vascular exposure, repair, reconstruction, or related procedures. The exact application and clamping technique should always be determined by the operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and the requirements of the procedure. The working jaws are designed to provide controlled engagement with the target vessel. Proper jaw alignment is essential to dependable performance, and the instrument should be applied with the minimum appropriate force required for the intended surgical task. Careful technique is particularly important when manipulating delicate vascular structures to minimize unnecessary tissue compression. The Leland Jones Peripheral Vascular Clamp is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance needed for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Stainless steel construction supports repeated use when appropriate cleaning, maintenance, and sterilization procedures are followed. Precision manufacturing also contributes to consistent jaw alignment and smooth mechanical operation. The ring-style handles allow controlled opening and closing of the jaws, while the locking mechanism can maintain the selected clamping position when appropriate. This provides the surgical team with stable vascular control without requiring continuous manual pressure. The clamp should always be inspected before use to verify proper jaw movement, alignment, and locking function. The instrument can be incorporated into peripheral vascular, cardiovascular, and thoracic surgical instrument sets . Its angled configuration makes it especially useful when the target vessel requires an oblique approach or when surrounding structures make direct access difficult. It may complement other vascular clamps selected for specific vessel sizes, locations, and surgical techniques. As a reusable surgical clamp, proper reprocessing is essential. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly to remove blood and biological material, with particular attention to the jaws, hinge, and ratchet. It should then be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated method suitable for reusable surgical instruments. Manufacturer instructions and institutional infection-control procedures should be followed. Regular inspection should include checking the jaws for deformation, surface damage, or misalignment, as well as examining the hinge and locking mechanism for smooth operation. Instruments showing corrosion, excessive wear, damaged jaws, or mechanical defects should be removed from service and evaluated by qualified instrument maintenance personnel. Overall, the Leland Jones Peripheral Vascular Clamp Angled 195mm provides controlled vascular access, precise clamping, and useful operative reach for professional vascular and thoracic surgical applications. Its angled profile, durable stainless steel construction, and controlled mechanical design make it a practical addition to specialized cardiovascular and vascular instrument sets.
