The 10.5″ Liddle Aortic Clamp 1⅜″ DeBakey Jaw is a precision-engineered cardiovascular surgical instrument developed to provide reliable temporary occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during complex cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures. Designed for cardiovascular surgeons, cardiothoracic specialists, vascular surgeons, and transplant teams, this specialized aortic clamp offers exceptional control of blood flow while minimizing trauma to delicate vascular structures. It is widely used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic aneurysm repair, valve replacement surgery, vascular reconstruction, aortic graft placement, and major arterial procedures where precise vessel occlusion is essential.

Achieving safe and effective vascular control during cardiovascular surgery requires instruments that combine secure clamping with atraumatic tissue handling. The Liddle Aortic Clamp features a precision 1⅜″ DeBakey jaw, designed with fine atraumatic serrations that gently interlock to provide a firm grip on the vessel without crushing the arterial wall. This DeBakey jaw configuration evenly distributes clamping pressure, helping preserve endothelial integrity while maintaining dependable temporary blood flow interruption throughout the surgical procedure.

With an overall length of 10.5 inches (approximately 26.7 cm), this clamp provides excellent reach for accessing the ascending, descending, and abdominal aorta in deep operative fields. The balanced length allows surgeons to maneuver comfortably around surrounding anatomical structures while maintaining optimal visibility and precise control. Its ergonomic profile makes it particularly suitable for technically demanding cardiovascular operations requiring accurate placement and stable vascular occlusion.

The 1⅜″ DeBakey jaw provides an ideal contact surface for engaging medium to large arteries securely while minimizing localized pressure on the vessel wall. This atraumatic jaw design helps reduce the risk of vascular injury and clamp slippage during prolonged procedures, making the instrument highly effective for aortic cross-clamping, arterial reconstruction, vascular anastomosis, bypass grafting, aneurysm repair, and transplant surgery. The precision-aligned jaws ensure smooth operation and consistent clamping performance throughout every stage of the procedure.

Manufactured from premium German surgical-grade stainless steel, the 10.5″ Liddle Aortic Clamp 1⅜″ DeBakey Jaw offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. The high-quality stainless steel construction maintains precise jaw alignment, smooth ratchet function, and structural integrity even after repeated sterilization cycles. A satin matte finish minimizes glare from operating room lighting while improving resistance to corrosion, staining, and surface wear.

The ergonomically designed finger ring handles provide superior comfort, tactile feedback, and excellent instrument balance during extended surgical procedures. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables surgeons to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, reducing hand fatigue while ensuring dependable vascular occlusion during lengthy operations.

The 10.5″ Liddle Aortic Clamp 1⅜″ DeBakey Jaw is an essential instrument in cardiovascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, and transplant surgery. It is commonly found in hospitals, cardiac surgery centers, vascular institutes, and teaching hospitals performing coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve procedures, aortic reconstruction, aneurysm repair, 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 1⅜″ DeBakey jaw technology, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction, the 10.5″ Liddle Aortic Clamp delivers exceptional precision, reliability, and durability required for modern cardiovascular surgery.
