12 1/2″ Cherry Supraceliac Clamp 2×3 Teeth

The 12 1/2″ Cherry Supraceliac Clamp 2×3 Teeth is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled occlusion and manipulation of major vascular structures during complex open vascular procedures. Its extended 12 1/2-inch length provides significant operative reach, while the 2×3-tooth jaw configuration offers a defined contact pattern for controlled engagement of an appropriate vascular structure. A supraceliac clamp is associated with procedures involving vascular structures in the upper abdominal aortic region, where substantial instrument reach and careful positioning may be required. This type of clamp can be incorporated into specialized aortic and vascular surgery sets for procedures requiring temporary vascular control. Exact indication, placement, duration of occlusion, and vessel selection must always be determined by the operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and the surgical technique. The extended 12 1/2-inch length is an important feature of this Cherry Supraceliac Clamp. Long vascular instruments can provide useful access to deep operative fields while keeping the surgeon’s hand at a practical distance from the surgical site. This can be particularly beneficial during major abdominal and cardiovascular procedures where the target vascular structure is located deep within the operative field. The 2×3-tooth configuration is another defining characteristic of this model. The specified tooth arrangement provides a particular jaw-contact pattern designed for controlled engagement. Proper jaw selection and application are essential when working with major blood vessels. The clamp should be applied using appropriate surgical technique and only to vascular structures for which its configuration is clinically suitable. The Cherry Supraceliac Clamp is intended for professional use in demanding vascular surgical environments. Specialized aortic clamps must provide dependable mechanical operation, appropriate jaw alignment, and controlled closure. Before each procedure, the instrument should be inspected to confirm smooth movement and satisfactory condition. The product title does not specify the exact jaw length, jaw curvature, opening capacity, or clamping force. These technical characteristics should be verified against the manufacturer’s specifications before clinical selection. The 12 1/2-inch overall length and 2×3-tooth configuration alone should not be interpreted as a recommendation for a particular vessel diameter. Professional vascular clamps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or another suitable surgical instrument material. Stainless steel is widely used for reusable vascular instrumentation because of its strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with appropriate cleaning and sterilization procedures. Exact material composition, finish, and mechanical characteristics should be confirmed with the manufacturer or supplier. The 12 1/2″ Cherry Supraceliac Clamp can be incorporated into aortic surgery sets, vascular surgery trays, cardiovascular instrument collections, and specialized abdominal vascular instrument systems. Its long profile makes it particularly useful where extended access is required and where a specialized supraceliac configuration is appropriate. Proper instrument handling is essential for maintaining reliable performance. The clamp should be inspected before use for jaw alignment, tooth integrity, smooth opening and closing action, structural integrity, corrosion, and any signs of deformation. Any instrument showing damage or abnormal mechanical operation should be removed from clinical service and evaluated by qualified personnel. Following use, the clamp should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instrument-processing instructions. Particular attention should be given to the teeth, jaw surfaces, hinge, and other mechanical components to remove biological material and cleaning residues. The instrument should then be thoroughly rinsed and dried before inspection. If supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved sterilization protocol. Effective cleaning before sterilization is essential for appropriate instrument processing. After sterilization, the long clamp should be stored in a clean, dry environment that protects the jaws and shaft from impact, bending, contamination, and moisture. The 12 1/2″ Cherry Supraceliac Clamp 2×3 Teeth provides specialized reach, controlled vascular engagement, and a dedicated tooth configuration for professional aortic and vascular surgical applications. It is a valuable addition to specialized cardiovascular instrument collections requiring long-reach vascular clamping capability.
