ABSTRACT:
A clamp, and method, for occluding bodily vessels such as arteries and veins, is provided. The clamp comprises a flexible hollow catheter having a pair of inflatable balloons sealed to the catheter and in fluid communication with its interior. The balloons are separated by a predetermined distance along the catheter such that when the catheter is secured around a vessel, the balloons present substantially parallel, opposed and spaced occluding surfaces at substantially opposite sides of the vessel. Lateral expansion spaces also are formed into which the compressed vessel wall expands as the vessel is compressed when the balloons are inflated by a fluid introduced through the catheter.
