The 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aortic Clamp 1×2 Teeth is a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered to provide secure temporary occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during advanced cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures. Designed for cardiovascular surgeons, cardiothoracic specialists, vascular surgeons, and transplant teams, this precision-crafted clamp offers dependable vascular control while helping preserve the integrity of delicate arterial tissues. It is commonly used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic aneurysm repair, arterial reconstruction, vascular graft placement, heart valve surgery, and other complex cardiovascular procedures where temporary interruption of blood flow is essential.

Reliable vessel occlusion is critical for maintaining a clear surgical field and ensuring accurate vascular reconstruction. The Ochsner Aortic Clamp features precision-engineered 1×2 atraumatic teeth that provide a secure, non-slip grip on the vessel while evenly distributing clamping pressure. This tooth configuration helps reduce localized compression of the arterial wall, minimizing the risk of tissue injury while maintaining dependable temporary occlusion. The carefully aligned jaws ensure consistent performance throughout prolonged surgical procedures and support delicate arterial suturing and vascular anastomosis.

With an overall length of 10 3/8 inches (approximately 26.4 cm), this clamp offers excellent reach for accessing the ascending, descending, and abdominal aorta. Its extended profile enables surgeons to work comfortably within deep thoracic and abdominal operative fields while maintaining optimal visibility and precise instrument control. The balanced construction enhances maneuverability around surrounding anatomical structures, making the clamp ideal for technically demanding cardiovascular operations.

The 1×2 toothed jaws are specifically designed to provide secure engagement of major arteries without excessive compression. The atraumatic design supports safe temporary occlusion during aortic cross-clamping, arterial bypass procedures, aneurysm repair, vascular reconstruction, graft implantation, and transplant surgery. By maintaining stable vessel control throughout the operation, the clamp contributes to improved surgical precision and procedural efficiency.

Manufactured from premium German surgical-grade stainless steel, the 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aortic Clamp 1×2 Teeth offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. The high-quality stainless steel construction maintains precise jaw alignment, smooth ratchet operation, and structural integrity through repeated sterilization cycles. A satin matte finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting while improving resistance to corrosion, staining, and surface wear.

The ergonomically designed finger ring handles provide excellent balance, comfort, and tactile feedback throughout lengthy cardiovascular procedures. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables surgeons to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, reducing fatigue while ensuring reliable temporary vessel occlusion.

The 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aortic Clamp 1×2 Teeth is an essential component of cardiovascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, and transplant surgery instrument sets. It is widely used in hospitals, cardiac surgery centers, vascular institutes, and specialty surgical facilities performing CABG, heart valve replacement, aortic reconstruction, aneurysm repair, vascular graft implantation, and advanced arterial interventions.

Designed for repeated professional use, this reusable aortic clamp is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Combining precision engineering, atraumatic 1×2 teeth, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction, the 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aortic Clamp delivers exceptional precision, reliability, and durability required for modern cardiovascular surgery.
