DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp Atrauma 33cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary occlusion of the aorta and other large-caliber vessels during vascular and cardiothoracic procedures. The long 33 cm reach provides proximal and distal control in open abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs, aortoiliac reconstructions, and graft anastomosis procedures. Atraumatic jaws reduce the risk of endothelial and intimal injury when obtaining vascular control, helping preserve vessel integrity during clamp application and repositioning. Clinicians should combine appropriate clamp time management with distal protection strategies to minimize ischemic risk.

Design & Configuration

The extended length facilitates access to deep or confined surgical fields where standard clamps cannot reach, allowing the surgeon to place occlusion proximal or distal to the operative site without excessive retraction. DeBakey-style atraumatic jaws use longitudinal serrations that distribute compressive force over a broader area to reduce focal pressure on vessel walls. The geometry favors stable occlusion of large, non-calcified vessels while minimizing trauma to delicate vascular tissue—critical during anastomosis and grafting maneuvers.

Instrument Specifications
