The Cardiovascular Instrument 6 3/4″ Debakey Pediatric Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shank is a precision-engineered cardiovascular surgical instrument developed specifically for pediatric and congenital heart procedures requiring controlled handling of the patent ductus arteriosus. Designed to meet the demands of delicate cardiovascular surgery, this clamp provides surgeons with accurate positioning, dependable vessel control, and enhanced access during complex operations.

The DeBakey Pediatric Patent Ductus Clamp incorporates a specialized design intended for gentle manipulation of small and delicate vascular structures. The instrument supports controlled occlusion of the ductus arteriosus while helping minimize unnecessary stress on surrounding tissues. Its pediatric-focused construction makes it an essential tool for congenital heart procedures where precision and atraumatic handling are critical.

The angled shank configuration improves surgical versatility by allowing surgeons to approach anatomical structures from a more favorable angle. This design provides enhanced maneuverability in confined operative fields, helping improve visibility and positioning during delicate pediatric cardiac procedures. The angled profile allows more efficient access compared with traditional straight-shank clamps.

With a 6 3/4-inch length, this DeBakey pediatric clamp offers a balanced combination of reach and control. The extended length provides access to deeper surgical areas while maintaining excellent tactile feedback and instrument stability. Its ergonomic design supports precise movements and comfortable handling during complex cardiovascular procedures.

The clamp’s specialized jaw design provides secure yet gentle vessel control. DeBakey-style atraumatic jaws are designed to distribute pressure evenly across vascular structures, helping reduce the risk of tissue injury while maintaining reliable grip. This makes the instrument suitable for procedures involving fragile pediatric vessels and congenital cardiovascular abnormalities.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the 6 3/4″ DeBakey Pediatric Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shank offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. The premium stainless steel construction allows the instrument to withstand repeated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycles while maintaining precise alignment and smooth functionality.

The ergonomic ring handle and locking mechanism provide surgeons with comfortable control and dependable operation. The ratcheting system allows consistent clamping pressure to be maintained after placement, reducing the need for continuous manual force and supporting efficient surgical workflow.

This pediatric cardiovascular surgical clamp is commonly used in congenital heart surgery, patent ductus arteriosus repair, neonatal cardiovascular procedures, and specialized vascular applications. Its angled shank design and DeBakey atraumatic construction make it a valuable addition to pediatric cardiac surgery instrument sets.

Proper maintenance, including cleaning, inspection, and sterilization according to professional surgical instrument guidelines, helps preserve the instrument’s performance and extend its service life. Regular inspection ensures continued accuracy of jaw alignment and locking function.

The Cardiovascular Instrument 6 3/4″ DeBakey Pediatric Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shank combines specialized pediatric design, precision engineering, and durable stainless steel construction to provide surgeons with a reliable instrument for delicate cardiovascular procedures.
