β¦ Synopsis
A new design for a plastic microvascular clamp is described. The clamp consists of two flat blades, with eyes permitting application and removal of the clamp with cross-forceps. Closure is effected by the elasticity of a rubber ring placed around the blades, obviating the need for an articular joint or a spring mechanism. The new design simplifies production of the clamp, which is intended to be disposable, i.e., for once-only use.

A new microvascular clamp was developed from inexpensive and readily available materials. This clamp, when properly applied, can provide many hours of vessel occlusion with minimal damage to the vessel intima. This clamp has important applications in producing prolonged experimental ischemia without
The development of "new" microvascular clamps for lung transplantation in the rat was necessary because the generally used microclamps were found to be not feasible in preliminary experiments. A mosquito clamp modified in a Satinsky-like manner made lung transplantation in the rat possible. However,
## Abstract A tilted or angulated double microvascular clamp is described that, when applied to the vessels to be anastomosed, presents the vessel ends angulated upward facing the surgeon, so that the initial suturing of the posterior wall can be completed without rotating the vessel. Such a clamp
