The 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm 2×3 Teeth is a specialized vascular clamp engineered to provide reliable and controlled occlusion of the aorta and other large arteries during complex cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures. Based on the renowned DeBakey design, this instrument combines precision craftsmanship with dependable performance, making it an essential addition to cardiovascular surgical instrument sets used in hospitals and specialty surgical centers worldwide.

Commonly utilized during abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery, arterial reconstruction, vascular bypass procedures, aortic replacement, and other major cardiovascular operations, the clamp allows surgeons to temporarily interrupt blood flow while maintaining optimal visibility and control of the operative field. Its 12 cm jaws provide an extended clamping surface suitable for larger vessels, while the 2×3 toothed jaw configuration delivers enhanced grip and stability, helping prevent movement during delicate surgical maneuvers.

With an overall length of 12 1/4 inches, the instrument offers excellent reach into deep surgical sites, making it ideal for procedures involving large vascular structures. The longer profile enables surgeons to work comfortably within the operative field while maintaining precise control over instrument placement. Ergonomic finger ring handles ensure a secure grip and balanced handling, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged cardiovascular procedures.

The carefully designed DeBakey jaw geometry distributes clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, minimizing localized trauma while providing effective vascular occlusion. This atraumatic design helps preserve vessel integrity, supporting successful arterial reconstruction and improving surgical precision. The 2×3 teeth further enhance stability by securely engaging the vessel without excessive compression, contributing to safe and controlled vascular management.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp is built to withstand the rigorous demands of modern surgical practice. The corrosion-resistant material maintains its structural strength and precision even after repeated sterilization cycles. A finely finished satin surface reduces glare from operating room lights, allowing surgeons to maintain clear visualization during intricate cardiovascular procedures.

The instrument features a dependable ratchet locking mechanism that maintains consistent clamping pressure throughout surgery. This secure locking system eliminates the need for continuous manual force, enabling the surgical team to focus on critical aspects of the procedure while ensuring stable vascular occlusion.

The 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm, 2×3 Teeth is routinely used in cardiovascular surgery departments, vascular surgery units, cardiothoracic operating rooms, teaching hospitals, and specialty medical centers. Its extended jaws and enhanced tooth configuration make it particularly suitable for procedures involving large-caliber arteries where secure and atraumatic occlusion is essential.

After 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, staining, and wear, ensuring years of dependable clinical service while supporting strict infection control standards.

Combining extended reach, superior vascular control, ergonomic handling, and long-term durability, the 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm, 2×3 Teeth Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument is a trusted choice for cardiovascular surgeons who require precision, reliability, and consistent performance during complex vascular interventions.
