S&T Micro Clamps

Clamp pressure is determined by the closing force of the clamp (in grams), divided by the area of the vessel wall that is compressed between the jaws (in square millimeters). Thus, the smaller the vessel, the higher the pressure exerted.

Despite the wide range of closing forces, the pressure exerted by each clamp, big or small, remains consistent throughout the series. Each size of clamp exerts a pressure of 5g/mm2 when used on the largest vessel in its range, and 15g/mm2 when used on the smallest vessel. Even at the higher range, S&T’s micro clamps have the gentlest working pressure of any small vessel clamp available.
