9″ DeBakey Coarctation Clamp Ang Straight Jaws 5.5cm

The 9″ DeBakey Coarctation Clamp Ang Straight Jaws 5.5cm is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled temporary occlusion, manipulation, and positioning of vascular structures during appropriately indicated procedures. Its DeBakey-style configuration combines a 9-inch overall length with 5.5 cm straight jaws , providing a practical balance of surgical reach, working surface, and controlled handling. A key characteristic of this instrument is its straight 5.5 cm jaw configuration . Straight jaws provide a direct working profile that can support controlled engagement of the intended vessel when the surgical approach permits a relatively direct application. The 5.5 cm jaw length offers an extended contact area suitable for selected vascular structures, with final instrument selection determined by vessel anatomy, operative technique, and surgeon preference. The instrument is specifically described as a coarctation clamp , making it suitable for specialized vascular procedures involving vessel narrowing or reconstruction where temporary vascular control may be required. Coarctation procedures can involve technically demanding access to major vessels, making appropriately configured clamps important components of a cardiovascular surgical instrument set. The 9-inch overall length provides useful working reach without the additional length of larger vascular clamps. This can allow the surgeon to position the working end around the intended vessel while maintaining practical control of the handles. The extended shaft may also provide useful clearance from surrounding tissues and other instruments within the operative field. DeBakey-style vascular instrumentation is designed for controlled handling of blood vessels. A specialized coarctation clamp may be used for temporary vascular occlusion, vessel manipulation, positioning, or surgical exposure when appropriate. Its use should always be based on the patient’s anatomy, the specific procedure, and the operating surgeon’s preferred technique. The straight jaw design can provide predictable alignment when approaching the target structure from a suitable direction. Proper mechanical movement is important for controlled application and release. The clamp should be operated smoothly and should not be forced, twisted, or used for purposes outside its intended surgical application. Professional reusable vascular clamps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , selected for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. Precision manufacturing helps preserve the intended jaw geometry and mechanical function through repeated clinical use. Routine inspection is especially important for ensuring that the straight jaws remain correctly aligned. Following use, the 9″ DeBakey Coarctation Clamp should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-reprocessing protocol. Blood and tissue residue should be removed thoroughly from the jaws, hinge, and accessible surfaces. The instrument should then be rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process compatible with the instrument. Before reuse, trained personnel should inspect the clamp for jaw alignment, smooth opening and closing, corrosion, surface damage, and structural integrity . Any instrument with damaged jaws, abnormal movement, deformation, or excessive wear should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures.
