Abstract
A surgical clamping device for hollow anatomical structures such as, essentially, blood vessels, but also for tracheas, intestines, etc. This device comprises a flexible guide and two jaws, each jaw being formed of an elongate member pierced with a longitudinal canal and having a distal end and a proximal end. These jaws can be slipped over the guide with their proximal end facing toward each of the ends of the guide. A mandrel is slipped over the two ends of the guide and brings the axes of the two jaws closer together, thus pinching the anatomical structure. This surgical clamping device applies more particularly to the clamping of the aorta.
