The 11″ Howard Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 2×3 Teeth is expertly engineered to provide dependable vascular occlusion during advanced cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures. Designed in the trusted Howard pattern, this specialized clamp delivers secure temporary occlusion of the aorta and other major arteries, enabling surgeons to perform aneurysm repair, arterial reconstruction, and complex vascular interventions with enhanced precision and confidence.
Commonly used during abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery, vascular bypass procedures, arterial reconstruction, aortic replacement, and major cardiovascular operations, this instrument creates a controlled, bloodless surgical field by temporarily interrupting blood flow. Its robust construction and precision-machined jaws make it a reliable choice for procedures involving large-caliber arteries.
With an overall length of 11 inches, the Howard Aortic Aneurysm Clamp provides excellent reach into deep operative sites while maintaining exceptional balance and maneuverability. The ergonomic finger ring handles offer a comfortable grip and precise tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to position and adjust the clamp accurately throughout lengthy procedures while reducing hand fatigue.
The instrument features a 2×3 toothed jaw configuration, specifically designed to provide enhanced grip and stability during vascular occlusion. The additional tooth engagement helps maintain a secure hold on large vessels, reducing the likelihood of clamp movement during delicate surgical maneuvers. The carefully contoured jaws distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, helping minimize localized trauma and preserve vascular integrity during temporary occlusion.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Howard Aortic Aneurysm Clamp is built to withstand the demanding conditions of modern operating rooms. The corrosion-resistant material maintains its strength, precision, and appearance through repeated cleaning, sterilization, and clinical use. A satin matte finish minimizes glare under surgical lighting, improving visibility during intricate cardiovascular procedures.
The precision ratchet locking mechanism maintains consistent clamping pressure throughout surgery, allowing the clamp to remain securely positioned without continuous manual force. This dependable locking system supports efficient surgical workflow and enables surgeons to focus on critical aspects of vascular repair with confidence.
The 11″ Howard Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 2×3 Teeth is widely used in cardiovascular surgery departments, vascular surgery units, cardiothoracic operating rooms, university hospitals, and specialized surgical centers. Its precision engineering and durable construction make it suitable for both routine and highly specialized procedures involving the aorta and other major arteries.
After every surgical procedure, the instrument can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized using standard hospital steam autoclave protocols. Its reusable stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, staining, and wear, ensuring long-term reliability while supporting strict infection control standards.
Combining secure vascular control, ergonomic handling, durable materials, and atraumatic performance, the 11″ Howard Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 2×3 Teeth Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument is an indispensable tool for cardiovascular professionals seeking precision and reliability during complex vascular surgery.
