DeBakey-Harken Atrauma Auricle clamp 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for cardiothoracic and cardiac surgical procedures where atraumatic handling of the auricle/atrial appendage and nearby vascular tissue is required. The clamp provides secure, gentle occlusion for temporary control during suture placement, appendage excision, or manipulation of delicate cardiac structures without crushing delicate endothelium.

Design & Configuration

The DeBakey-style longitudinal jaw geometry disperses clamping force along the tissue surface to minimize localized pressure and endothelial trauma. The 24 cm overall length provides extended reach into the operative field—useful in median sternotomy and minimally exposed areas—while a narrow jaw profile allows precise placement on the auricle and small vessels. The instrument’s shank length and jaw design together facilitate controlled manipulation in confined thoracic anatomy.
