The 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aorta Clamp 1×2 DeBakey Teeth is a specialized vascular clamp engineered to provide surgeons with precise control during aortic and cardiovascular procedures. Designed with the trusted Ochsner pattern and DeBakey-style atraumatic teeth, this instrument offers secure vessel engagement while minimizing trauma to delicate vascular tissues. It is an essential tool for cardiovascular surgeons requiring dependable occlusion and accurate vessel management.

This aorta clamp is commonly used during open-heart surgery, aortic cross-clamping, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic repair, vascular reconstruction, arterial grafting, and other major cardiovascular interventions. It provides temporary interruption of blood flow, allowing surgeons to establish a controlled operative field for precise suturing, graft placement, and vascular repair.

The instrument features 1×2 DeBakey teeth, designed to provide a secure yet atraumatic grip on vascular structures. The DeBakey serration pattern helps maintain stable positioning while distributing pressure evenly across the vessel wall. This design reduces the risk of clamp slippage while supporting gentle tissue handling during delicate cardiovascular procedures.

With an overall length of 10 3/8 inches, the Ochsner Aorta Clamp provides excellent reach and maneuverability for deep operative fields. Its balanced construction allows surgeons to achieve accurate placement while maintaining comfortable handling throughout lengthy procedures. The ergonomic finger ring handles enhance control and tactile response, helping reduce fatigue during demanding cardiac surgeries.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Ochsner Aorta Clamp is designed for exceptional durability and reliable clinical performance. The high-quality stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, staining, and repeated sterilization cycles. Its precision-machined components maintain proper alignment and functionality even after extensive professional use.

The atraumatic DeBakey jaw design supports safe vascular manipulation by reducing concentrated pressure points on the vessel wall. This allows surgeons to achieve effective occlusion while preserving tissue integrity, making the instrument suitable for procedures where controlled force and precision are critical.

The clamp incorporates a dependable ratchet locking mechanism that maintains consistent pressure after placement. This secure locking feature allows stable vessel occlusion without requiring continuous manual force, improving efficiency and supporting accurate surgical workflow.

The 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aorta Clamp 1×2 DeBakey Teeth is widely used in cardiovascular surgery departments, cardiothoracic operating rooms, vascular surgery centers, specialty cardiac hospitals, and teaching institutions. Its precise jaw configuration and durable design make it suitable for a wide range of aortic and vascular procedures.

After use, the instrument can be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized using standard hospital steam autoclave protocols. Its reusable stainless steel construction ensures long-term value, dependable performance, and compliance with professional surgical instrument care standards.

Combining precision engineering, atraumatic DeBakey teeth, ergonomic handling, and durable construction, the 10 3/8″ Ochsner Aorta Clamp 1×2 DeBakey Teeth Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument provides surgeons with the reliability and control required for advanced cardiovascular and vascular procedures.
