- **Review Panel:** Cardiovascular
- **Attributes:** Therapeutic

## Intended Use

Vascular Clamps are indicated for use for temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures.

## Device Story

Reusable stainless steel ring-handled clamps; used for temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures. Device features various shapes, sizes, and lengths to accommodate specific anatomy and occlusion types; includes ratchet closure to adjust tension applied to vessel. Operated by surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Device provided non-sterile; requires user sterilization. Benefits include maintaining clear field of vision by keeping handles/shanks away from operative site and providing controlled vessel occlusion.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing assessed clamp force and occlusion capabilities to demonstrate performance equivalence to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Reusable stainless steel construction; ring-handled design with ratchet lock mechanism. Multiple jaw tip configurations and lengths available. Non-sterile; requires user-performed sterilization. Mechanical operation via manual tension adjustment.

## Regulatory Identification

A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

## Predicate Devices

- Aesculap Vascular Instruments ([K992053](/device/K992053.md))
- Sibel Vascular Clamp ([K072834](/device/K072834.md))
