The 10″ Harkens Clamp #2 CVE is a high-quality cardiovascular surgical instrument developed to provide secure temporary occlusion of arteries and major blood vessels during complex cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgical procedures. Designed for cardiovascular surgeons, cardiothoracic specialists, vascular surgeons, and transplant teams, this specialized clamp offers precise vessel control while minimizing trauma to delicate vascular tissues. It is commonly utilized during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve surgery, aortic reconstruction, vascular anastomosis, aneurysm repair, arterial bypass procedures, and other operations where controlled interruption of blood flow is critical.

During cardiovascular surgery, maintaining a clear operative field and preserving vascular integrity are essential for achieving optimal surgical outcomes. The Harkens Clamp #2 CVE features precision-crafted atraumatic jaws that distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, allowing temporary occlusion without excessive compression. This balanced pressure helps reduce endothelial injury while providing surgeons with reliable vessel control throughout delicate reconstructive procedures. The clamp supports accurate arterial repair, vascular graft placement, and anastomosis while protecting surrounding tissues.

With an overall length of 10 inches (approximately 25.4 cm), the instrument offers excellent reach for accessing deep thoracic and mediastinal structures while maintaining superior maneuverability. The balanced construction allows surgeons to position the clamp accurately around major vessels without compromising visualization of the operative field. Its ergonomic design contributes to smooth instrument handling during lengthy cardiovascular procedures.

The precision-aligned atraumatic jaws are engineered to provide secure engagement of arteries and major vascular structures while evenly distributing pressure across the vessel surface. This design minimizes localized stress and helps preserve the integrity of delicate vascular tissues during temporary occlusion. The clamp is particularly effective during coronary artery bypass surgery, valve replacement, thoracic vascular reconstruction, abdominal and thoracic aortic procedures, peripheral vascular surgery, and complex arterial repairs requiring dependable vascular control.

Manufactured from premium German surgical-grade stainless steel, the 10″ Harkens Clamp #2 CVE provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical performance. The instrument maintains accurate jaw alignment, smooth ratchet operation, and structural integrity through repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. Its satin matte finish minimizes glare from surgical lighting while improving resistance to corrosion, staining, and surface wear.

The ergonomically designed finger ring handles offer excellent balance, tactile feedback, and precise control throughout demanding surgical procedures. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables surgeons to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, reducing fatigue while ensuring secure temporary vessel occlusion during prolonged operations.

The 10″ Harkens Clamp #2 CVE is an essential instrument in cardiovascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, transplant surgery, and advanced arterial reconstruction. It is widely used in hospitals, cardiac centers, teaching institutions, and specialty surgical facilities performing coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair, aneurysm surgery, vascular reconstruction, and major arterial procedures.

Designed for repeated professional use, this reusable cardiovascular clamp is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Combining precision engineering, atraumatic jaw design, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction, the 10″ Harkens Clamp #2 CVE delivers exceptional reliability, durability, and surgical precision required in modern cardiovascular practice.
