Diethrich Aortic Atrauma Clamp 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary occlusion of the aorta and other large-caliber vessels, this atraumatic clamp provides proximal vascular control during open vascular and cardiothoracic procedures, aneurysm repair, and emergent hemorrhage control. The atraumatic jaw interface reduces the risk of intimal trauma when clamping delicate vessel tissue, making it suitable for controlled, short-term occlusion while exposure, anastomosis, or graft placement is performed.

Design & Configuration

The long 21 cm shank offers extended reach into deep mediastinal or retroperitoneal fields without crowding the operative site. A narrow profile and atraumatic jaw geometry allow secure purchase on large vessels while distributing compressive force to minimize localized damage. The integrated locking mechanism maintains consistent occlusive pressure, freeing the assistant and allowing the surgeon to focus on vessel repair. These features together improve access and control in confined or high-volume bleeding situations.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization cycles and clinical use. The atraumatic jaw surfaces are engineered to provide reliable occlusion while minimizing trauma to the vessel wall. Reusable design supports standard steam sterilization (autoclave) protocols used in operating rooms and central sterile departments.

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.
