Johns Hopkins bulldog clamp 2 curved atraumatic serrated jaws, cross-action handle

Controlled Access for Cardiovascular and General Surgical Workflows

The Johns Hopkins bulldog clamp is a compact vascular clamp designed to temporarily control a vessel or tubular structure during surgical handling. Its 2-inch curved profile supports access in focused operative fields, while the atraumatic serrated jaws are intended to provide a secure grasp with careful tissue handling. The cross-action handle offers a practical operating format for controlled placement and release. In cardiovascular and general surgery settings, this clamp can help organize vessel-management steps where a short, curved instrument is useful for approach, positioning, and visualization without adding unnecessary bulk to the field.

Use Cases

• Apply for temporary control of vessels during cardiovascular surgical procedures.
• Support vessel handling and focused clamping tasks in general surgery.
• Use the curved profile to approach structures within a confined or angled operative field.
• Operate the cross-action handle when controlled placement and release are required.
• Use the serrated jaw design for a secure, atraumatic grasp during surgical handling.

Specifications

Care & Handling
