"Soft" angled bulldog clamp for carotid control.
A bulldog vascular clamp was modified to reduce both weight and clamping force, and to permit easy use in the control of delicate vessels such as the internal carotid artery during carotid endarterectomy. The final instrument (Codman and Shurtleff, Inc, Randolph, MA) retains a simple design.
