A surgical bulldog clamp is a reusable, manual instrument used to securely grasp and compress blood vessels or tissues during operations. Its self-retaining jaws stay open when squeezed and close when released, allowing surgeons to isolate areas for precise control without constant manual pressure.
These clamps are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device standards depending on jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile or as part of a surgical tray, designed for repeated use with proper cleaning and sterilization between procedures.
