The DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm Carotid Jaw Clamp is a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument specifically engineered for delicate vascular procedures requiring precise control of the carotid artery and other major blood vessels. Combining the proven DeBakey atraumatic jaw design with the Castaneda clamp pattern, this instrument delivers exceptional control, secure vessel occlusion, and dependable performance during advanced cardiovascular surgery.

Designed with a 1.4mm carotid jaw, this clamp is optimized for the temporary occlusion and controlled manipulation of carotid and other delicate vascular structures. The fine jaw profile provides secure engagement while evenly distributing clamping pressure across the vessel wall to help minimize tissue trauma. This atraumatic design supports safe vessel preservation during procedures where maintaining vascular integrity is essential.

The curved handle configuration improves ergonomics and enhances access to deep or confined operative fields. Its balanced design allows surgeons to maintain a natural hand position, providing greater comfort and reducing fatigue during prolonged cardiovascular procedures. The curved handle also improves instrument maneuverability, enabling precise placement around sensitive anatomical structures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Castaneda Clamp offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Precision manufacturing ensures consistent jaw alignment, smooth operation, and dependable clamping performance even after repeated sterilization cycles. The polished finish simplifies cleaning and complies with modern operating room hygiene standards.

The atraumatic DeBakey serrations are designed to provide a firm yet gentle grip on blood vessels, reducing the risk of unnecessary vessel injury during temporary occlusion. This makes the clamp particularly valuable during carotid artery surgery, vascular reconstruction, bypass procedures, and delicate anastomotic repairs where careful tissue handling is critical.

The DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm Carotid Jaw is commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, carotid artery procedures, vascular reconstruction, peripheral vascular surgery, pediatric cardiovascular surgery, and microsurgical operations. It supports surgeons during temporary vessel occlusion, arterial repair, vascular graft placement, and other procedures requiring precise vascular control.

Its lightweight and balanced construction provides excellent tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to perform intricate procedures with confidence. The precision locking mechanism ensures secure vessel occlusion while allowing controlled release when necessary, contributing to smooth surgical workflow and dependable clinical outcomes.

Suitable for hospitals, cardiovascular centers, vascular surgery departments, and specialty operating rooms, this DeBakey Castaneda Clamp is an essential component of professional cardiovascular instrument sets. Its combination of precision engineering, ergonomic design, and premium materials meets the demanding standards of modern cardiovascular surgery.

Routine cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and sterilization after each use help preserve instrument performance and extend its service life. When maintained according to professional surgical guidelines, this clamp delivers consistent precision and reliability throughout years of repeated clinical use.
