The 5 1/2″ Kitzmiller Right Angled Jaw Titanium Cardiovascular is a precision-engineered vascular clamp developed for temporary occlusion of arteries and veins during complex cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular surgical procedures. Designed to deliver exceptional control in confined operative fields, this instrument combines the proven Kitzmiller jaw design with lightweight titanium construction to provide outstanding precision and surgeon comfort.

Measuring 5 1/2 inches (approximately 14 cm), the clamp is ideal for procedures requiring fine vascular manipulation and accurate vessel control. Its compact profile provides excellent maneuverability in limited surgical spaces, making it particularly valuable for delicate cardiovascular interventions, arterial reconstruction, and microvascular procedures.

The right-angled atraumatic jaws are specifically designed to provide superior access to vessels positioned behind surrounding anatomical structures or within narrow operative fields. The angled jaw configuration improves visibility and enables precise clamp placement without excessive tissue retraction. This design is especially beneficial during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), carotid artery surgery, peripheral vascular reconstruction, thoracic surgery, and other procedures requiring controlled vascular occlusion.

The atraumatic jaw pattern distributes clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, providing secure temporary occlusion while minimizing endothelial injury. This gentle yet effective compression helps preserve vessel integrity and supports safer vascular handling throughout complex surgical procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium, the 5 1/2″ Kitzmiller Right Angled Jaw Titanium Cardiovascular Clamp provides significant advantages over conventional stainless steel instruments. Titanium is exceptionally lightweight, helping reduce hand fatigue during prolonged procedures while maintaining outstanding strength, rigidity, and durability. The material is highly corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, and non-magnetic, making it an excellent choice for advanced cardiovascular surgery.

The ergonomic ring handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, enhancing precision and reducing operator fatigue during extended operations. A reliable ratchet locking mechanism maintains consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, ensuring stable vascular occlusion until controlled release is required. Smooth opening and closing action contributes to efficient instrument handling and dependable surgical performance.

This clamp is widely used in cardiovascular surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), carotid endarterectomy, peripheral vascular procedures, arterial reconstruction, and microsurgical vascular repair. Its right-angled jaw configuration makes it especially effective when operating around deep or difficult-to-access vascular structures.

Designed for repeated professional use, the clamp is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its premium titanium construction maintains structural integrity, precision, and corrosion resistance through repeated sterilization cycles, ensuring long-term clinical reliability.

Combining lightweight titanium construction, ergonomic design, and precision Kitzmiller engineering, the 5 1/2″ Kitzmiller Right Angled Jaw Titanium Cardiovascular Clamp delivers the reliability, control, and atraumatic vessel handling required for today’s advanced cardiovascular surgical procedures.
