9 1/2″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 7.5cm 1×2 Teeth

The 9 1/2″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 7.5cm 1×2 Teeth is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation and clamping of the aorta and major vascular structures during appropriately indicated vascular procedures. Its extended 9 1/2-inch length, 7.5 cm working dimension, and 1×2 tooth configuration provide a specialized combination of reach and tissue engagement for professional cardiovascular and vascular surgery. With an overall length of 9 1/2 inches , this DeBakey aortic aneurysm clamp provides extended access to the operative field. The longer profile can be useful when the target vascular anatomy lies deeper within the surgical field or when additional distance between the surgeon’s hand and the working site is desirable. Despite its extended length, the instrument is designed to provide controlled handling and precise positioning during demanding vascular procedures. The 7.5 cm working jaw dimension provides a substantial working surface for engaging the intended vascular structure. The size of the working end is an important consideration when selecting an aortic clamp because the instrument must correspond appropriately to the anatomy and surgical technique. The 1×2 teeth provide a specialized interlocking jaw configuration intended to assist with controlled engagement of the target tissue or vascular structure. The toothed design should be used only when appropriate for the specific procedure and tissue requirements. DeBakey-style vascular instruments are widely associated with cardiovascular and vascular surgery because their configurations are designed for controlled handling of delicate anatomical structures. This aortic aneurysm clamp may be incorporated into specialized aortic surgery, vascular reconstruction, aneurysm repair, and cardiovascular surgical instrument sets , depending on the exact instrument design and surgeon preference. The specific clinical application must be determined by the operating surgeon based on patient anatomy and procedural requirements. Aortic aneurysm surgery can involve complex vascular anatomy and requires appropriately selected instrumentation for exposure, temporary vascular control, manipulation, and reconstruction. A specialized aneurysm clamp can support controlled vascular management when indicated by the operative technique. The 1×2 tooth configuration provides a distinct working characteristic compared with smooth-jawed vascular clamps and should therefore be selected according to the intended surgical application. The extended 9 1/2-inch length can also provide useful clearance between the surgeon’s hand and the operative site. This may assist with positioning when working around surrounding tissues, vascular grafts, retractors, or other instruments. Controlled mechanical movement and appropriate jaw alignment remain essential for reliable placement and removal. Professional reusable vascular clamps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , selected for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. Precision construction supports consistent mechanical performance and helps preserve the geometry of the working end. Because the clamp has toothed jaws, careful inspection is particularly important to ensure that the teeth remain properly aligned and free from damage. After each procedure, the DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved reprocessing protocol. Blood and tissue residue should be removed from the teeth, jaws, hinge, and other accessible surfaces. The instrument should then be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated method compatible with the instrument. Before reuse, trained personnel should inspect the clamp for tooth alignment, jaw integrity, smooth mechanical movement, corrosion, surface damage, and structural deformation . Any instrument showing damaged teeth, impaired movement, or compromised alignment should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures. The 9 1/2″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 7.5 cm 1×2 Teeth is a specialized option for hospitals and surgical centers seeking professional DeBakey vascular clamps, aortic aneurysm clamps, cardiovascular surgical instruments, and vascular surgery clamps . Its extended length and specialized toothed jaw configuration make it suitable for appropriately indicated procedures requiring controlled vascular engagement.
