Why does the body bleed so little during surgery?

I mean, I get a little nick from a knife while chopping vegetables and I fill up a small bowl with blood… but these guys are doing open heart surgery and theres barely any blood at all.

Why is that?

They cut super carefully, avoid veins if possible, clamp things closed, etc. There’s just a ton of little careful things that add up to not leaking much blood.
