This 5 1/2-inch tube occluding clamp is a compact, precision-engineered instrument designed to occlude tubes or vessels temporarily during surgical procedures. Its smooth jaws ensure gentle yet firm control over tubing without causing damage, making it ideal for fluid or blood flow regulation. This clamp, constructed of premium-quality German stainless steel, is extremely light and corrosion resistant, easy to sterilize, and hands-free to operate due to a ratchet locking mechanism to hold it in place.
