DeBakey-Morris Aortic Clamp Atrauma 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure temporary occlusion of large-caliber vessels, this clamp is used for cross-clamping the ascending and descending aorta, thoracic aortic procedures, peripheral vascular exposure, and situations requiring atraumatic vessel control during cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. The atraumatic jaw profile minimizes intimal compression and reduces the risk of vessel wall injury while providing reliable hemostasis during grafting, anastomosis, or aneurysm repair.

Design & Configuration

The long 23 cm shaft provides extended reach into the thoracic cavity and around deep mediastinal anatomy, allowing the surgeon to control proximal and distal vessel segments without excessive retraction. The DeBakey-style atraumatic jaws distribute occlusive force along a broader surface area to protect the intima while maintaining secure grip. A ratcheting locking mechanism permits graduated clamping force and positive retention during procedure steps that require hands-free vessel control.
