A surgical A/V-shaped microvessel clamp is a handheld instrument used to temporarily occlude small blood vessels or tubular structures during procedures like anastomosis. Its A-/V-shaped design allows surgeons to slide the vessel into the clamp’s opening, compressing it at the apex to control bleeding or isolate the vessel before suturing.
These clamps are reusable and require sterilization before use. They are typically classified as surgical instruments and regulated under medical device laws, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction. Always verify local regulations before procurement or use.
