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

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 Albino rats were used to determine the effects of the reapplication of microvascular clamps in veins after anastomosis. The results demonstrate that, if necessary, microvascular clamps can be reapplied either proximal, or both proximal and distal to a venous anastomosis for up to 30 min
