Potts Coarctation Fcps Atraumatic 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic temporary occlusion of large vessels during coarctation repair and other cardiovascular and thoracic procedures. The atraumatic jaw surfaces reduce focal pressure on the vessel wall and help minimize intimal injury when clamping delicate arterial tissue. Its length and control features make it suitable for pediatric and adult mediastinal exposures where secure temporary hemostasis is required prior to definitive repair.

Design & Configuration

The 22 cm shaft length offers reach into the mediastinum and chest cavity while keeping the operator's hand outside the immediate field. Atraumatic occluding tips distribute clamping force to protect the intima and vessel adventitia. A ratcheting locking handle permits sustained, adjustable occlusion without continuous hand pressure, providing the surgeon predictable control during anastomosis and vessel reconstruction. The slim profile aids placement in confined operative corridors.
