The 10 1/4″ Parsonnet Aorta Clamp 1 1/8″ Jaw Cardiovascular is a specialized aortic clamping device engineered to provide surgeons with accurate and dependable control of the aorta during complex cardiac and vascular procedures. Designed according to the trusted Parsonnet pattern, this clamp offers excellent maneuverability, secure vessel engagement, and precise occlusion, making it an essential instrument in cardiovascular operating rooms.

This aorta clamp is commonly used during open-heart surgery, aortic cross-clamping, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement procedures, aortic repair, and other cardiothoracic surgical interventions. By providing temporary occlusion of the aorta, the instrument helps create a controlled surgical environment that allows surgeons to perform delicate cardiac procedures with improved visibility and precision.

With an overall length of 10 1/4 inches, the Parsonnet Aorta Clamp provides an ideal balance between reach and handling control. The length allows access to deep operative fields while maintaining excellent instrument balance and surgeon comfort. Its ergonomic finger ring handles support precise manipulation and reduce fatigue during extended cardiovascular procedures.

The instrument features a 1 1/8-inch jaw design, providing a reliable clamping surface for secure aortic engagement. The carefully engineered jaws help distribute pressure evenly across the vessel wall, reducing concentrated stress and supporting atraumatic vascular handling. This design allows surgeons to achieve effective occlusion while minimizing unnecessary trauma to delicate cardiovascular tissues.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Parsonnet Aorta Clamp is designed for durability, precision, and long-term clinical performance. The corrosion-resistant material maintains structural integrity through repeated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycles. Its satin matte finish reduces glare from operating room lights, helping improve visibility during intricate cardiac procedures.

The clamp features a dependable ratchet locking mechanism that maintains consistent pressure once applied. This secure locking system allows the instrument to remain stable throughout surgery without requiring continuous manual force, supporting efficient workflow and precise cardiovascular intervention.

The 10 1/4″ Parsonnet Aorta Clamp Jaw 1 1/8″ is widely used in cardiovascular surgery departments, cardiothoracic operating rooms, cardiac specialty hospitals, teaching institutions, and vascular surgery centers. Its precision design makes it suitable for procedures requiring controlled aortic occlusion and reliable instrument performance.

Following each procedure, the instrument can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized using standard hospital steam autoclave protocols. Its reusable stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and repeated clinical handling, ensuring dependable performance throughout its service life.

Combining precision manufacturing, ergonomic handling, durable construction, and secure vascular control, the 10 1/4″ Parsonnet Aorta Clamp Jaw 1 1/8″ Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument is a trusted choice for cardiovascular surgeons requiring reliable performance during advanced cardiac and aortic procedures.
