DeBakey-Harken Atrauma Auricle clamp 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling and temporary occlusion of delicate cardiac and vascular tissues, this clamp is particularly useful for manipulation and isolation of the atrial appendage (auricle) and for providing controlled occlusion of small vessels or thin-walled structures during cardiothoracic procedures. The atraumatic jaw geometry minimizes crush injury when grasping fragile tissue, making it appropriate where preservation of endothelial integrity and precise tissue control are required.

Design & Configuration

The 24 cm overall length provides extended reach into the thoracic cavity while maintaining tactile control at the handle. A slender, elongated shaft allows access in narrow operative corridors without excessive retraction. The atraumatic jaw interface offers a broader contact area to distribute clamping pressure and reduce focal tissue compression. The instrument’s locking mechanism secures the chosen clamping force, enabling hands-free control when required during exposure or suturing.
