A novel, innovative clamp with vessel eversion feature for end-to-end microvascular anastomosis.

In the era of technological advancement, the practice of microsurgery has virtually remained unchanged for the last few decades. In this article, the authors describe innovative three jaw microsurgery clamps which provide a novel vessel eversion feature. The advantages of these clamps include better visibility of the posterior wall resulting in lower incidence of back walling and incomplete bites. These clamps also eliminate the need to flip the clamps as a result of better posterior wall visualisation. These unique microsurgery clamps not only ease the arduous, technique sensitive field of microsurgery in the operating room, but can also serve as a tool for the training of future reconstructive surgeons, thereby reducing the steep learning curve considerably.
