Clinical Application
Designed for vascular and cardiothoracic procedures where precise, atraumatic control of vessels and tissue is required. Commonly used during coarctation of the aorta repair and similar operations to isolate, retract, or temporarily occlude small-to-medium caliber vessels without causing intimal trauma. The combination of atraumatic jaws and an angled shaft aids in safe handling of delicate vascular structures in confined thoracic fields and pediatric exposures.
Design & Configuration
The angled shaft geometry allows improved access to posterior and circumferential aspects of the aorta and other vessels while keeping the surgeon's hands clear of the operative field. Atraumatic jaw faces distribute clamping force to minimize localized pressure and reduce the risk of vessel wall injury. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument provides sufficient reach for deep thoracic approaches while maintaining tactile control for fine tissue manipulation.
