ABSTRACT:
An atraumatic occluder for the temporary occlusion of tubular vessels in the human body. The occluder includes a first jaw and a second jaw, each of which have a pressure face. A mounting member joins the jaws so that the pressure faces are opposed to one another. Spacer members are located on at least one of the pressure faces and rise to a known height above the pressure face so as to contact the other pressure face when the jaws are brought together. The height of the spacer members is approximately equal to twice the wall thickness of a vessel to be clamped so that the vessel is compressed and its lumen closed to flow when the spacer members make contact with the pressure face. A plurality of spacer members are spaced from one another along the pressure faces so as to prevent a vessel held therebetween from slipping from the jaws. The spacer members are spaced from one another at least and approximately the width of the vessel to be clamped.
