Potts Coarctation Fcps Atraumatic str 21cm

Clinical Application

Potts coarctation forceps are intended for controlled temporary occlusion of large vessels during open thoracic and cardiovascular procedures, most commonly in coarctation of the aorta repair. The straight, atraumatic jaws allow surgeons to apply focal compression to the vessel while minimizing intimal injury, making this instrument useful in pediatric and adult cardiothoracic and vascular surgeries when delicate vessel handling is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight 21 cm profile provides reach into the mediastinum and thoracic cavity while maintaining tactile feedback at the finger grip. Atraumatic jaw geometry distributes pressure across the vessel wall and reduces the risk of crushing or intimal damage compared with sharp-toothed clamps. The slim working end and elongated shank facilitate exposure in confined operative fields and allow precise placement for temporary occlusion during anastomosis or reconstruction.
