Clinical Application
Designed for secure, atraumatic occlusion of large vessels during open aortic aneurysm repair and related vascular procedures. The instrument provides temporary proximal or distal control of the aorta and other large-caliber arteries while suturing graft anastomoses, performing aneurysm sac repair, or placing clamps prior to vessel reconstruction. Its atraumatic jaw design minimizes intimal injury during prolonged occlusion and instrument repositioning.
Design & Configuration
The DeBakey-style jaw geometry distributes compressive force longitudinally along the vessel, reducing focal pressure points that can lacerate or crush the arterial wall. The Bahnson variant combines extended shank length with an aortic-oriented profile to improve reach and access in deep abdominal or thoracic fields without requiring excessive tissue retraction. This geometry aids visualization and working space around the repair site, enabling precise placement and controlled occlusion.
Instrument Specifications
- Pattern: DeBakey Bahnson aortic aneurysm clamp
- Length: 24 cm overall
- Jaw type: Atraumatic DeBakey-style longitudinal jaws
- Intended use: Temporary occlusion/control of large vessels during open aortic and vascular surgery
- Construction: Stainless steel, reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from precision-forged stainless steel to withstand repeated use and routine sterilization cycles. The atraumatic DeBakey jaw profile is integral to the forged tip to maintain jaw alignment and vessel protection over the instrument's service life. Reusable construction supports cost-effective turnover in high-volume vascular and cardiothoracic practices.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
