FAQs: Surgical Clamps for Medical Applications
Surgical clamps are surgical instruments that are used to occlude a blood vessel, compress tissues, and hold surgical drapes for a limited time. Surgical clamps include the Kelly, Mosquito, and Crile hemostatic clamps that lock and occlude blood vessels, vascular clamps that have atraumatic jaws to avoid injuring the vessel walls, towel clamps that hold surgical drapes to the patient’s skin, intestinal clamps that prevent spillage during a bowel surgery, bulldog clamps which are used for temporary vessel occlusion, bone clamps used for orthopedic fracture reduction, and specialty clamps such as umbilical cord clamps and anesthesia circuit tubing clamps.
Surgical clamps should ideally be made of stainless steel, titanium, or cobalt-chromium because stainless steel of grades 420, 440C, 17-4 PH becomes micrometrically polished and has biocompatibility, high hardness above 52 HRC to resist wear at the ratchet teeth, and outstanding spring characteristics for self-opening mechanisms. Surgery instruments made out of titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI are has outstanding biocompatibility, weighs 40 % less to reduce hand fatigue during long hours of surgery, is MRI compatible, and has excellent corrosion resistance for over 1000 sterilization cycles. Cobalt-chromium has amazing hardness and corrosion resistance, and wear resistance on jaw serrations that allows them to maintain grip through thousands of cycles, superior fatigue strength to prevent spring failure, and excellent corrosion resistance.
CNC processes used for surgical clamps include multi-axis CNC milling for complex jaw geometries, finger rings, and ratchet mechanisms with integrated features. Intricate jaw serration patterns, slots, and thin sections in hardened materials are cut with Wire EDM achieving 0.001 inch accuracy. Precision grinding jaw serves for even pressure distribution and alignment, performing grinding for even pressure distribution and alignment. Laser cutting creates fine serration patterns on atraumatic jaws. Drilling and reaming pivot holes facilitate the closing and opening of the jaws. Electropolishing achieves the required surfaces for cleaning, which are below 0.1 Ra microns and polishing removes micro-burrs. Heat treatment achieves jaw hardness optimally with 48-54 HRC and spring properties of the jaws.
Jaw alignment tolerance of ± 0.0005 inches permits even tissue contact with jaws thus preventing crushing or tearing. Pivot holes facilitate articulation of the jaws with concentricity tolerance of 0.0003 inches. Uniform grip on the vessel is permitted with serration depth uniformity ± 0.0002 inches. Ratchet teeth preventing slip of the jaws are secured with geometrical tolerance ± 0.001 inches. Jaws are parallel to each other with 0.001 inches and uniform compression is maintained. Overall dimensions are ± 0.010 inches which results in uniformity of the instrument for surgical tray organization.

For classical hemostatic clamps, lead time is 12–18 business days to cover machining, heat treatment, surface finishing, and quality verification of the 18 clamps. For custom specialty clamps with unique jaw designs, lead time is 4–5 weeks. Depending on material availability and complexity, sample prototype runs for surgical evaluation can be provided in 8–12 days.
Yes. We create microsurgical clamps for ophthalmic and neurosurgical procedures with jaw widths under 1 millimeter, atraumatic vascular clamps with custom shaped rubber-shod jaws for use on delicate vessels, pediatric clamps sized down with a more delicate clamping force, laparoscopic clamps designed with long narrow profiles for use in minimally invasive surgery, disposable clamps designed for single-use, adjustable clamps with adjustable clamping force, and custom designs for clamps in cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation, and reconstructive surgery for designs with specific jaw shapes and clamping pressure configurations.
Having the jaws be of the precise “within” range as 0.0005 inches. Aligning the jaws as such will allow for even the most delicate tissues to don the “ contact” uniformly to compress. This will help alleviate the chances of crushing injuries as well as necrosis tissue death. Precisely engineered pivots allow for the jaws to open and close smoothly even after thousands of cycles without binding or excessive play. Controlled serration depth and patterns allow the vessel to be held without slippage and with lesser chances of tube injury on vascular structures. Perfectly engineered geometry on the ratchet teeth will allow to secure lock on as many as needed and will maintain constant pressure for clamp types of occlusion of 50 to 500grams. Electropolishing to a surface smoothness of 0.1 Ra and under will facilitate the cleaning as there will be no converging biological material residues to accumulate between cycles of sterilization. Appropriate material, as well as heat treatment for spring, will be consistent as the opening force to relieve fatigue for the surgeon during long procedures (more than 4 hours). Jaw hardness as well as structural alignment will be maintained after over 500 cycles of sterilization as well as thousands of clampings to relieve compression tissue. This will alleviate the crushing injuries as well as necrosis tissue death.
