Spoon-Shaped DeBakey Aortic Clamp 270mm Jaw Type DeBakey 2 x 3 Teeth

The Spoon-Shaped DeBakey Aortic Clamp 270mm Jaw Type DeBakey 2 x 3 Teeth is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for controlled clamping, manipulation, and temporary occlusion of appropriate large blood vessels. Its extended 270mm length provides useful reach for deeper operative fields, while the spoon-shaped DeBakey jaw offers a distinctive working profile for controlled vascular engagement. Aortic surgery requires specialized clamps that provide reliable vascular control while allowing the surgeon to maintain accurate positioning around major vessels. The extended length of this DeBakey aortic clamp allows the working jaws to reach deeper anatomical structures while keeping the handles accessible outside the immediate operative field. The spoon-shaped jaw provides a broader working profile compared with narrow clamp tips. This configuration can help distribute contact across the target structure when the instrument is appropriately positioned. The spoon-shaped design may also facilitate access and positioning around larger vascular structures within cardiovascular and thoracic operative fields. The working jaw incorporates a 2 x 3 DeBakey tooth configuration , consisting of two teeth on one jaw and three corresponding teeth on the opposing jaw. This specialized interlocking arrangement is designed to provide controlled engagement of appropriate vascular tissue. Because the jaws incorporate teeth, careful positioning and controlled pressure are essential to avoid unnecessary tissue trauma. With an overall length of approximately 270mm , this clamp offers substantial operative reach. The extended profile can be advantageous during deep cardiovascular and thoracic procedures where the target vessel is positioned away from the incision. It allows the surgeon to maintain access to the working end while keeping the handles in a more accessible position. The DeBakey Aortic Clamp may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and cardiothoracic surgical instrument sets . Appropriate applications can include selected aortic procedures, temporary vascular occlusion, vessel preparation, vascular reconstruction, graft-related procedures, and other techniques requiring controlled manipulation of suitable large vessels. Specific clinical use should always be determined by the operating surgeon. The 2 x 3 DeBakey tooth pattern provides a specialized gripping configuration. The jaws should be aligned correctly around the target structure, and excessive pressure should be avoided. Instrument selection should take into consideration vessel size, anatomical location, tissue characteristics, and the requirements of the surgical procedure. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for reusable professional surgical instrumentation. Precision construction helps maintain the spoon-shaped jaw profile, tooth alignment, and mechanical function during repeated use when proper maintenance is followed. Ring-style handles provide controlled manual operation, while the locking mechanism can help maintain the selected jaw position during appropriate procedures. Before clinical use, the clamp should be inspected to confirm that the 2 x 3 teeth are intact, correctly aligned, and free from deformation. After use, the clamp should be cleaned promptly to prevent blood and biological material from drying on the instrument. Particular attention should be given to the spoon-shaped jaw, 2 x 3 DeBakey teeth, hinge, and locking mechanism . The instrument should be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process appropriate for reusable surgical instruments. Routine inspection should include checking the teeth for wear, deformation, or breakage and verifying that the spoon-shaped jaw retains its intended geometry. The hinge and locking mechanism should operate smoothly without excessive looseness or resistance. Instruments with damaged working surfaces or impaired function should be removed from service and evaluated by qualified surgical instrument maintenance personnel. Overall, the Spoon-Shaped DeBakey Aortic Clamp 270mm combines an extended working length with a specialized spoon-shaped jaw and 2 x 3 DeBakey teeth for controlled large-vessel manipulation. Its precision design and durable stainless steel construction make it a valuable addition to professional cardiovascular and thoracic surgical instrument sets.
