Clinical Application
Provides controlled, atraumatic occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus and other small vessels during pediatric cardiothoracic procedures. The angled jaw geometry enables precise placement in confined operative fields typical of neonatal and infant thoracotomies or sternotomies. Use for temporary vessel control during dissection, exposure, and ligation where minimizing intimal trauma is critical.
Design & Configuration
The angled configuration improves line-of-sight and approach in deep or restricted working corridors, allowing the surgeon to apply clamping force while maintaining an ergonomic instrument orientation. Atraumatic jaw surfaces reduce crushing injury to fragile vessel walls, supporting secure occlusion without compromising tissue integrity. The length provides reach to intra-thoracic targets while preserving tactile feedback for delicate manipulation.
