Potts Coarctation Fcps Atraumatic 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary vascular occlusion in procedures involving coarctation repair and other thoracic or peripheral vascular operations. The narrow, atraumatic jaw faces provide secure vessel control while minimizing intimal trauma, making this instrument suitable for pediatric and adult cardiovascular cases where delicate handling of arteries is required. Its 21 cm length offers reach into the operative field while maintaining tactile feedback for precise placement and release.

Design & Configuration

The Potts coarctation pattern features long, slender jaws with a tapered profile that facilitates access in confined thoracic spaces. An atraumatic jaw interface distributes clamping force to reduce risk of vessel wall injury. A standard box-lock hinge with a ratchet-style handle provides controlled, repeatable occlusion pressure and reliable engagement during critical stages of vessel repair.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability under repeated sterilization cycles. The instrument uses a traditional box-lock hinge and ratchet mechanism to ensure consistent mechanical function over prolonged clinical use. The smooth, atraumatic jaw surfaces are intended to minimize tissue compression and endothelial damage during clamping.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
