Johns Hemostatic Forceps Curved 7.0 cm (2.7)

Controlled Clamping with Curved, Atraumatic Access

The Johns Hopkins bulldog clamp is designed for temporary vessel occlusion and controlled tissue handling during cardiovascular and general surgery procedures. Its 2 3/4-inch curved profile helps position the clamp around the intended structure, while the atraumatic serrated jaws support a secure hold with careful tissue contact. The cross-action handle provides a practical operating format for placement and release within a focused surgical field. This combination of compact reach, curved access, and defined jaw engagement can support precise instrument handling when maintaining control is important to the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Apply temporary occlusion during cardiovascular procedures when a compact bulldog clamp is appropriate to the surgical technique.
• Support controlled vessel handling in general surgery through the clamp's curved, atraumatic serrated jaws.
• Reach around or alongside structures where the curved profile may assist positioning within the operative field.
• Use the cross-action handle to place, adjust, and release the clamp during focused surgical handling.
• Maintain a secure grasp on the intended structure while minimizing unnecessary manipulation during the procedure.
