Fogarty Clamp

Description

The Fogarty Clamp is a specialised cardiovascular instrument used for the temporary occlusion of blood vessels during vascular and cardiac procedures. Its long working jaws apply controlled pressure across the vessel while helping the surgeon manage blood flow within the operative field.

Salwan Surgicare is a surgical instrument manufacturer in India supplying Fogarty Clamps to hospitals, cardiovascular centres, distributors, procurement companies, healthcare organisations, and OEM partners worldwide.

Fogarty-style clamps commonly feature a scissor-action handle, a locking mechanism, and jaws designed to accept compatible atraumatic inserts. The inserts provide a softer contact surface between the clamp and the vessel.

Straight and angled patterns may be available for different surgical approaches. In addition, selected clamp sizes can accept inserts of different lengths according to the approved product specification.

Fogarty Clamp Uses

The Fogarty Clamp is used to achieve temporary vascular occlusion during cardiovascular, thoracic, and peripheral vascular procedures.

During use, the jaws are positioned around the selected blood vessel. The surgeon then closes the handles gradually until the required level of occlusion is achieved. A locking mechanism helps maintain the selected position without continuous hand pressure.

The instrument may be used during vascular reconstruction, vessel repair, bypass procedures, and operations involving graft materials. Temporary occlusion helps control blood flow while the surgeon completes an anastomosis or another stage of the procedure.

Angled-jaw patterns can improve access when the vessel lies within a deep or restricted operative area. Straight versions provide direct application along the instrument axis.

Compatible inserts must match the clamp model and jaw size. The clamp and inserts should be inspected before use according to the healthcare facility’s approved procedures.

Benefits of the Fogarty Clamp

The broad working jaws distribute pressure across a defined section of the vessel. Therefore, the surgeon can achieve controlled occlusion without relying on a narrow contact point.

Atraumatic inserts provide a softer gripping surface for delicate vascular structures. Their textured design may also support traction while the clamp remains in position.

The locking mechanism maintains the chosen jaw position. As a result, the surgeon does not need to apply continuous pressure to the handles throughout the procedure.

Straight and angled configurations offer flexibility for different operative approaches. Several jaw lengths may also be available to suit different vessels and surgical requirements.

The rigid handle construction provides stable control during placement, adjustment, and release. Smoothly finished external surfaces support inspection and approved reprocessing of the clamp body.

Material & Quality

The Fogarty Clamp is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance under appropriate handling and reprocessing conditions.

Production focuses on jaw alignment, insert retention, joint movement, locking action, handle symmetry, and surface finishing. Correct jaw alignment helps the compatible inserts meet evenly when the clamp is closed.

Each instrument is inspected for jaw formation, articulation, locking performance, insert fit where applicable, surface condition, and overall workmanship before packaging.

Available within our broader clamps range, the Fogarty Clamp provides a specialised solution for temporary vascular occlusion during cardiovascular and vascular surgery.
