Clinical Application
Designed for occlusion and control of the aorta and other large vessels during open vascular procedures, including aortic aneurysm repair and reconstruction. The long 25 cm reach facilitates safe cross‑clamping in deep or crowded operative fields while the atraumatic DeBakey jaw pattern minimizes intimal trauma during temporary vessel occlusion.
Design & Configuration
The long‑shank geometry provides reach into the thoracic or abdominal cavity without excessive retraction of surrounding tissues, helping to preserve exposure and reduce assistant crowding. The DeBakey-style longitudinal serrations distribute clamping force along the vessel to reduce focal pressure and risk of intimal injury. A positive ratchet locking mechanism maintains secure occlusion while allowing quick release when reperfusion is required.
Instrument Specifications
