Clinical Application
Provides secure temporary occlusion of the ascending aorta and other large vessels during cardiothoracic and vascular procedures. Common uses include proximal aortic control for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic repair and reconstruction, and situations requiring reliable cross‑clamping or vessel isolation in the mediastinum. The 16 cm length balances reach and control for adult thoracic exposure while remaining manageable within standard cardiac operative fields.
Design & Configuration
The long‑shank geometry allows the jaws to reach deeper into the mediastinal space while keeping the surgeon's hands clear of the operative field. A ratchet locking mechanism provides incremental secure closure and stable vessel occlusion during anastomosis or clamp time. The multi‑purpose design is intended to accommodate a range of large‑vessel diameters encountered in adult cardiac and vascular surgery, delivering reliable control without excessive bulk that can obstruct exposure.
