AORTIC VASCULAR CLAMPS
Many Pilling vascular clamps feature the patented AtrauGrip ®
non-traumatic jaws and Life-Lok ® mortise box lock.
Ratchets on Pilling vascular clamps provide the precision
control needed for arterial clamping. Ratchets are designed
with steps (1 x 7, 1 x 9, 1 x 11) to furnish the specific amounts
of desired pressure. Jaws are precision set by hand.
Jaws on Pilling clamps are set with precision. Coordination of
ratchet length and jaw setting provide the precise amount of
required compression.
Many styles of Pilling AtrauGrip ® clamps are available with
spring handles. With this construction feature, a portion of the
shaft is flattened or otherwise altered and specially tempered
to eliminate rigidity and provide a softness proportionate with
the overall size and purpose of the instrument. The intention
is to minimize trauma to vessels with the soft spring handles
but hold securely with AtrauGrip ® jaws.
History and Achievements
Since 1814, well before the Civil War, Pilling has designed and
manufactured high quality surgical instruments. As one of the
oldest surgical instrument companies in the world, we have
continued our tradition of craftsmanship and innovation
which has established us as the leaders in our field. As a result
of these efforts, a very large proportion of the cardiovascular
surgical instruments being used in surgery today have been
developed by Pilling. Pilling was the first surgical instrument
company to receive a United States and Worldwide patent for
an innovation in the design of a non-traumatic jaw serration,
the AtrauGrip ® jaw.
Why Pilling
Every cardiovascular instrument that we produce is set and
checked by hand, then checked again to assure that it has
the “feel” so essential to the surgeon. Pilling has gained
international acclaim for providing the ultimate in surgical
tools. Working closely with the world's top specialists, we
continue to customize instrumentation to meet their exacting
individual requirements. We have designed over 500
vascular clamps.
Most Pilling clamps are covered by
Patent No. 2,668,538 and other patents.
