title: A new microvascular clamp for the production of experimental ischemia.
abstract: 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 significant vessel damage and thrombosis. This clamp produced less vessel damage when compared with a standard microvascular clamp for prolonged periods of clamping.
