The 4 1/8″ Baby Vascular Clamp 45° Angled Jaws, Straight Shanks is a high-quality vascular surgical instrument engineered to provide precise temporary occlusion of delicate blood vessels during neonatal, pediatric, cardiovascular, and microsurgical procedures. Designed for surgeons who require exceptional accuracy in confined operative fields, this compact clamp features 45° atraumatic angled jaws combined with straight shanks, allowing controlled vessel manipulation while minimizing trauma to fragile vascular tissues. Its refined construction and ergonomic balance make it an essential instrument for advanced vascular surgery where precision and tissue preservation are critical.

The 45° angled jaw configuration is specifically designed to improve access to vessels that cannot be approached comfortably with straight-jaw instruments. This angle enables surgeons to reach around surrounding anatomical structures while maintaining a clear view of the operative field. The design is particularly valuable during vascular anastomosis, congenital heart surgery, neonatal vascular repair, pediatric cardiovascular reconstruction, peripheral vascular procedures, arterial repair, venous repair, and microvascular surgery. The angled jaws provide secure temporary vessel occlusion while helping preserve endothelial integrity through even pressure distribution.

The compact 4 1/8-inch overall length offers excellent maneuverability in restricted surgical spaces commonly encountered during neonatal and pediatric operations. The smaller instrument profile allows surgeons to perform highly delicate procedures without unnecessary obstruction, providing greater precision when working with tiny arteries and veins. This makes the clamp especially suitable for congenital cardiac surgery, infant vascular reconstruction, transplant surgery, and plastic or reconstructive microsurgery.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the 4 1/8″ Baby Vascular Clamp 45° Angled Jaws, Straight Shanks delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth jaw movement, accurate alignment, and consistent clamping force throughout repeated clinical use. The instrument maintains its functionality and professional finish after numerous sterilization cycles, making it a trusted choice for hospitals, pediatric surgical centers, cardiovascular operating rooms, and specialty microsurgical facilities.

The atraumatic jaw design distributes clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, reducing the risk of endothelial damage while maintaining reliable temporary blood flow occlusion. This gentle vessel handling is particularly important during pediatric and neonatal surgery, where delicate tissues require meticulous care. The clamp supports accurate vessel isolation, reconstruction, graft placement, and microsurgical suturing while helping improve procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.

Straight shanks provide direct instrument alignment and predictable handling, allowing surgeons to position the clamp precisely with excellent tactile feedback. The ergonomic finger-ring handle promotes comfortable operation and reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. Together, the straight shanks and 45° angled jaws create a versatile instrument capable of meeting the demands of both routine and highly specialized vascular procedures.

The instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving, allowing safe and efficient reprocessing between procedures. With proper cleaning, maintenance, and inspection, it retains its precision mechanics, corrosion resistance, and long service life, making it a valuable investment for healthcare facilities.

Combining premium stainless steel construction, atraumatic 45° angled jaws, straight shanks, ergonomic handling, and precision engineering, the 4 1/8″ Baby Vascular Clamp 45° Angled Jaws, Straight Shanks delivers outstanding performance for modern neonatal, pediatric, cardiovascular, and microsurgical procedures. It is an indispensable surgical instrument for achieving reliable vessel control while protecting delicate vascular tissues.
