Blalock Aorta Clamp 14mm jaw 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable temporary vascular control of large-caliber vessels, this clamp is intended for use in cardiothoracic and vascular procedures where secure occlusion of the aorta or other major arteries is required. The broad 14 mm jaw distributes pressure over a larger surface area to reduce the risk of focal vessel trauma while achieving effective hemostasis during dissection, anastomosis, or exposure.

Design & Configuration

The 15 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control in the confined operative field of thoracic surgery. A ratcheting locking mechanism permits incremental clamping force and reliable retention without continuous manual pressure, allowing the surgical team to maintain a stable, hands-free occlusion. The wide jaw profile is optimized to engage large vessels securely while minimizing point pressure.
