Sklar Debakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp, Curved 13"
A curved atraumatic clamp with fine nontraumatic teeth used to occlude the aorta during aortic aneurysm repair and other major vascular procedures.
The Sklar Debakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp is a heavy duty vascular clamp designed to occlude the aorta during major vascular surgery, particularly aortic aneurysm repair. The 13 inch curved reference featured here has an atraumatic jaw with one by two rows of nontraumatic fine teeth, allowing the surgeon to achieve secure vessel occlusion while minimising damage to the delicate aortic wall.
Clamps of this design are essential in vascular and cardiac surgery, where controlled interruption of blood flow is required to allow safe repair or graft placement on the aorta and other large vessels. Vascular surgeons and cardiac surgeons rely on this DeBakey pattern clamp as a standard component of an aortic surgery set.
This listing spans four available lengths, from 9-1/2 inches up to 13 inches, giving surgical teams the flexibility to select a clamp size that matches the depth and diameter of the vessel being occluded. Hospitals with a vascular or cardiac surgery programme typically stock a range of DeBakey clamp lengths to cover the variety of aortic procedures performed.
