5 1/2″ Gregory Femoral Artery Clamp Curved Right

The 5 1/2″ Gregory Femoral Artery Clamp Curved Right is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, positioning, and temporary occlusion of the femoral artery during appropriate vascular procedures. Its 5½-inch overall length and curved right-sided configuration provide a specialized approach for accessing and controlling vascular structures while maintaining practical hand positioning within the operative field. The curved configuration allows the working end to follow an anatomical pathway rather than approaching the vessel along a completely straight axis. This can be advantageous when surrounding anatomy, tissue, or other instruments restrict direct access. The right-sided orientation further supports positioning from a particular direction according to the surgical approach and anatomy. Femoral artery clamps are used in selected vascular procedures where temporary control of blood flow is required. Depending on the procedure, an appropriately configured clamp may assist with vessel isolation, repair, reconstruction, anastomosis, or other techniques involving the femoral artery. The exact application should be determined by the qualified vascular surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and procedural requirements. At 5½ inches , this Gregory femoral artery clamp provides a balance between reach and close instrument control. Its moderate length can allow access to the operative site without introducing excessive instrument bulk. The curved profile is intended to facilitate positioning around vascular anatomy while maintaining controlled handling. The right-sided configuration is particularly relevant when the surgeon requires a specific orientation for accessing the femoral artery. Correct instrument selection can help accommodate the operative approach and surrounding anatomical structures. The clamp should always be selected according to the intended vascular application, vessel dimensions, and surgical technique. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance appropriate for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing supports dependable working-end alignment and mechanical performance. A smooth finish also facilitates cleaning, inspection, and routine maintenance. Because this instrument is intended for vascular applications, controlled handling is essential. The clamp should be applied using appropriate surgical technique and only with the force required for the intended vascular control. Excessive pressure, twisting, or inappropriate use can compromise delicate vascular tissue or damage the instrument. Following use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the curved working end, hinge, and adjacent surfaces where biological material may accumulate. The instrument should be inspected for corrosion, wear, deformation, surface damage, and alignment before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Proper storage and careful handling help preserve the curved right-sided working profile and overall mechanical integrity. The 5½″ Gregory Femoral Artery Clamp Curved Right combines a specialized curved configuration with a compact surgical length for controlled femoral artery access and manipulation. Its precision-oriented design and durable construction make it a useful addition to professional vascular and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets.
