Ochsner Aortic Atrauma Clamp 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide rapid, temporary control of the aorta and other large-caliber vessels during open vascular, cardiothoracic and trauma procedures. The atraumatic jaw geometry distributes occlusive force to minimize intimal injury while allowing reliable hemostasis for vessel repair, graft placement, or hemorrhage control. The 26 cm length facilitates proximal control in deep thoracic or abdominal exposures and in emergency situations where reach and secure occlusion are required.

Design & Configuration

The long-shaft configuration gives the surgeon extended reach into deep or confined operative fields while keeping the handle accessible outside the wound. Atraumatic jaw surfaces are intended to reduce focal pressure on vessel walls compared with sharp-toothed clamps, decreasing the risk of intimal damage. A positive locking mechanism permits sustained occlusion without continuous manual force, improving efficiency during anastomosis and definitive repair.
