The 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm, 2×3 Teeth is a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument specifically developed for temporary occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during advanced vascular and cardiac procedures. Designed according to the trusted DeBakey surgical instrument pattern, this clamp combines superior engineering, ergonomic handling, and dependable vascular control to meet the rigorous demands of modern cardiovascular surgery. It is widely used by cardiac surgeons, vascular specialists, and thoracic surgeons in hospitals, surgical centers, and specialized cardiovascular operating rooms.

This instrument features 12cm long jaws with a precision 2×3 toothed configuration, providing a secure grip on large vascular structures during aneurysm repair and complex arterial reconstruction. The carefully aligned teeth engage the vessel with controlled pressure to minimize clamp migration while maintaining stable temporary occlusion. This design enhances procedural safety by allowing surgeons to confidently manage blood flow throughout delicate vascular interventions. The extended jaw length also provides broader vessel coverage, making the clamp particularly useful for larger vascular structures encountered during aortic surgery.

With an overall length of 12 1/4 inches, the DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp offers excellent reach into deep thoracic and abdominal operative fields. The extended profile enables surgeons to work comfortably around complex anatomical structures while maintaining optimal visibility and precise instrument control. Its balanced construction reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures, allowing for smooth and accurate manipulation throughout surgery.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the clamp delivers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting clinical performance. The high-quality material withstands repeated exposure to steam sterilization, surgical disinfectants, and intensive operating room use while preserving precise jaw alignment and mechanical integrity. A satin matte finish minimizes glare under operating lights, improving visualization and enhancing surgeon comfort during intricate cardiovascular procedures.

The ergonomic ring handles are designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip and precise tactile feedback. A finely engineered ratchet locking mechanism allows controlled application of clamping pressure, ensuring dependable vascular occlusion without excessive force. The smooth hinge mechanism supports effortless opening and closing, allowing accurate instrument positioning and reliable operation throughout demanding surgical cases.

The 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm, 2×3 Teeth is commonly used during thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, aortic reconstruction, vascular bypass surgery, arterial grafting, cardiovascular reconstruction, major vessel anastomosis, and complex arterial repair procedures. It provides surgeons with a controlled bloodless field, facilitating precise suturing, graft placement, vessel reconstruction, and other critical surgical techniques while helping minimize blood loss.

Designed for repeated professional use, this instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital cleaning, disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its seamless stainless steel construction supports efficient reprocessing and strict infection prevention standards. The robust engineering ensures reliable performance over years of clinical service, making it a valuable addition to cardiovascular surgical instrument sets and vascular operating rooms.

Combining the trusted DeBakey design, extended 12cm jaws, secure 2×3 toothed configuration, premium stainless steel construction, and exceptional craftsmanship, the 12 1/4″ DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp 12cm, 2×3 Teeth delivers the precision, reliability, and durability required for today’s most demanding cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures.
