Vascular surgical clamps designed for the atraumatic compression of varicose dilatations (i.e., hemorrhoids) of a vein in the rectum, usually to cause temporary occlusion during surgical procedures. These clamps are typically handheld, manual instruments including two parts pivoted at the center with straight or curved distal blades that frequently terminate in triangular, serrated jaws. Hemorrhoid surgical clamps are used in procedures intended to excise hemorrhoids.
