5″ Castaneda Clamp Curved Shanks, Angled Jaw 30°

The 5″ Castaneda Clamp Curved Shanks, Angled Jaw 30° is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, positioning, and temporary occlusion of appropriately sized vascular structures. With a compact 5-inch overall length, curved shanks, and a 30-degree angled jaw , this clamp provides a specialized working geometry for procedures requiring controlled vessel access and precise instrument positioning. The 30° angled jaw provides a moderate directional offset between the working end and the primary axis of the instrument. This configuration can help the surgeon approach selected vascular structures from an angled direction while maintaining a controlled hand position. It may be useful when direct access is restricted by surrounding anatomy or by the orientation of the operative exposure. The curved shanks further contribute to the instrument’s maneuverability. Their curved profile creates additional clearance between the handle and working end, helping the surgeon position the jaw around anatomical structures while maintaining visibility and control. The combination of curved shanks and a 30° angled jaw offers a practical offset configuration for selected vascular applications. At 5 inches overall length , the Castaneda Clamp provides a compact balance between working reach and close instrument control. Its relatively short profile can be useful in operative fields where space is limited and accurate positioning is required. The compact design also helps minimize unnecessary instrument bulk around the surgical site. A vascular clamp of this type may be incorporated into selected cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and reconstructive procedures where temporary vessel control is required. Depending on the specific surgical technique, it may assist with vessel isolation, positioning, repair, reconstruction, or other procedures involving controlled vascular occlusion. The exact application should be determined by appropriately trained surgical professionals. The specialized geometry is intended to provide controlled access and maneuverability rather than establish a specific surgical indication. Instrument selection should be based on the patient’s anatomy, target vessel dimensions, surgical exposure, and procedural requirements. The clamp should be used only when its jaw configuration and overall dimensions are appropriate for the intended application. Careful handling is essential when working with vascular tissue. The 30° angled jaw should be accurately positioned before application, with only the force required for the intended clinical purpose. Excessive compression, twisting, bending, or inappropriate leverage should be avoided to help minimize potential tissue trauma and maintain instrument integrity. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing supports dependable jaw alignment and consistent mechanical action. A smooth surface finish also facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. After use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the angled jaw, curved shanks, hinge, and adjoining working surfaces , where blood and biological residue may accumulate. The clamp should be inspected for corrosion, wear, deformation, surface damage, and jaw alignment before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process compatible with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Proper storage and careful handling help preserve the 30° jaw angle, curved shank geometry, and overall mechanical performance. The 5″ Castaneda Clamp Curved Shanks, Angled Jaw 30° combines a compact vascular clamp profile with curved shanks and a 30° angled working end. Its specialized geometry, maneuverability, and durable construction make it a practical addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.
