What is it indicated for?
The Micrins Micro Anastomosis Clamp is a hand held surgical instrument that is designed to be used in Microvascular Surgery to either temporarily occlude or approximate blood vessels during the anastomosis process. The clamps are available in three different size ranges and are to be used on vessels that range in size from 0.4mm to 2.25mm. The clamps are used to facilitate surgical procedures that are typically called “free flaps” or replants. Once the microanastomosis has been completed the micro clamp is removed from the patient
