Johns Hemostatic Forceps Straight 3.8 cm (1.5)

Controlled Clamping for Versatile Surgical Workflows

The Johns Hopkins bulldog clamp is designed for temporary clamping tasks where a compact, straight instrument and controlled cross-action handling support precise placement. Its 1 1/2-inch overall length provides a short working profile for organized instrument handling, while the atraumatic serrated jaws are named to support a familiar grip during clamping. The straight configuration can help maintain a predictable approach and clear orientation at the operative field. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows, this clamp offers a practical option for teams seeking focused control in procedures requiring a bulldog-style clamp.

Use Cases

• Apply controlled temporary clamping during cardiovascular procedures where a compact bulldog clamp is appropriate.
• Support general surgery workflows requiring a straight clamp with a cross-action handle.
• Use in plastic surgery settings when a small, focused clamping instrument is needed.
• Position and release the clamp through its cross-action handle while maintaining an organized instrument technique.
• Use the straight profile to support consistent orientation when approaching the intended clamping site.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the clamp according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument instructions for use.
• Inspect the atraumatic serrated jaws and cross-action handle before and after use for residue, damage, alignment, or restricted movement.
• Handle the clamp carefully to preserve jaw alignment and avoid impacts that could affect its straight profile or closing action.
• Store the instrument in a clean, protected location where the jaws and handle will not be subjected to unnecessary pressure or contact damage.
