The vascular clamp is mainly used for clamping blood vessels or blood points, also known as a hemostat. The vascular clamps used in vascular surgery have finer, shallower tooth slots, good extensibility, and cause relatively light extraction effects on tissues, as well as minimal damage to the blood vessel wall and endothelium, known as non-damaging vascular clamps. Because the front of the clamp is smooth and has been inserted into the muscle fascia, it is not suitable for piercing veins, and is also used for separating anatomical tissues. It can also be used for traction suture threads, removing suture threads, or as a substitute for forceps, but is not suitable for clamping skin, internal organs, and sensitive tissues. When promoting blood circulation, the tip should be perpendicular to the tissue, holding the bleeding end of the blood vessel, and avoiding clamping surrounding tissues.

The application of vascular clamps is basically the same as that of surgical scissors, but when releasing, the thumb and ring finger should hold one ring of the vascular clamp, while the middle finger and ring finger of the right hand cover the other ring, and gently exert force with the thumb and right ring finger against each other. The vascular clamp should not be used to clamp skin, intestines, etc., to prevent tissue necrosis. When promoting blood circulation, only one or two teeth should be engaged, and it is necessary to check whether the locking mechanism is not working properly; sometimes the handle may automatically loosen, causing bleeding, which should be alert. Before use, check whether the front developed transverse tooth slot is suitable, and discard those that are not suitable to avoid the displacement of the vascular clip.

Common uses of various hemostats:

1. The curved vascular clamp, also known as a hemostat, is used for promoting blood circulation in superficial tissues or internal organs during surgical procedures. The toothed hemostat is not suitable for clamping blood vessels or nerves, separating tissues or promoting blood circulation in tissues or blood vessels, and also for assisting in surgical suturing, etc.

2. The straight vascular clamp, also known as a hemostat, is used for superficial blood circulation and tissue separation in surgical procedures. The toothed hemostat is mainly used for promoting blood circulation in tough tissues, for pulling and tightening the edges of incisions, and for promoting blood circulation in subcutaneous tissues, etc.

3. The triangle forceps are used for the correct guidance of tissues such as blood vessels, nerves, urethra, and bile ducts, as well as for the proper guidance of traction items.

4. The mosquito hemostat is finer and suitable for separating small blood vessels and connective tissues around nerves, used for promoting blood circulation in small blood vessels, and is not suitable for clamping lumpy or hard tissues.
