Clinical Application
Designed for temporary occlusion and atraumatic handling of large and medium-sized vessels during coarctation repair and other cardiothoracic or vascular procedures. The atraumatic jaws provide secure tissue control while minimizing intimal trauma, making this instrument suitable for pediatric and adult aortic work, localized vessel control in confined thoracic spaces, and staged vascular dissection where delicate handling is required.
Design & Configuration
The angled geometry facilitates approach to the lateral and posterior aspects of the aorta and other great vessels in narrow operative fields. Atraumatic jaw surfaces distribute clamping force to reduce point pressure on the vessel wall, helping to preserve intimal integrity during temporary occlusion. At 21 cm overall length the instrument offers reach into deeper thoracic exposures while retaining tactile control for precise placement and removal.
