Abstract
The artery clamp of the invention includes a base which has an elongate rod mounted normal thereto. An elongate sleeve having a central bore is carried on the rod. The sleeve includes a channel which extends the length thereof, which channel has an axially extending slot along at least a portion of its length. The rod is received in the central bore to allow rotation of the sleeve relative to the base of the artery clamp. An arm structure extends laterally outwardly from the sleeve and includes an extensible portion which is laterally adjustable relative to the sleeve and which includes a mechanism for carrying a pressure pad thereon.
