Acland Micro Vessel Clamps

Acland Clips – Microvascular Clamps for Delicate Procedures

Acland clips are specialized microvascular clamps used in microsurgery to temporarily occlude small blood vessels during procedures requiring high precision and minimal trauma. Designed by Dr. Robert Acland, a pioneer in microvascular surgery. These clips are engineered for atraumatic clamping and controlled blood flow. Making them an essential tool in reconstructive, plastic, vascular, and neurosurgical procedures.

Used primarily in procedures involving arterial or venous anastomosis. Acland clips allow surgeons to temporarily halt blood flow in delicate vessels (typically 1–3 mm in diameter) without causing damage to the vessel wall. They ensure a bloodless surgical field, enabling clear visibility during suturing or grafting of vessels.

Key Features of Acland Clips

Atraumatic Design:
Acland clips are built to apply just enough pressure to stop blood flow without crushing or damaging the vessel, preserving endothelial integrity.
Spring-Loaded Mechanism:
Each clip operates on a precise spring tension mechanism that provides reliable, even pressure.
Reusable and Autoclavable:
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or titanium, these clips are fully autoclavable and designed for repeated surgical use.
Available in Different Sizes & Force Options:
Acland clips are typically available in low-force, medium-force, and high-force options to match vessel size and procedure type.
Color-Coded Handles:
Many variants include color-coded handles or identifiers for quick and easy size/force recognition during surgery.
