Blalock Aorta Clamp 23mm jaw 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure temporary occlusion of large-caliber arteries, this Blalock aorta clamp is used for proximal aortic control and vascular isolation during open cardiac, thoracic and vascular operations. Typical applications include establishing a bloodless field for anastomosis, controlling hemorrhage during repair of aortic pathology, and providing rapid vessel control during emergent thoracic exposures.

Design & Configuration

The long 20 cm shaft provides extended reach into the thoracic cavity while maintaining tactile control at the handle. The 23 mm wide jaw distributes compressive force across a larger contact area to reduce focal pressure on the vessel wall while achieving reliable occlusion of large arteries. A secure ratchet lock maintains sustained closure without continuous manual pressure, allowing the surgical team to work hands-free once control is established.
