The DeBakey Coarctation Clamp 9″ Straight Jaws 5.5cm is a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered to provide safe and effective temporary vascular occlusion during cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures. Designed in the trusted DeBakey pattern, this clamp features a straight handle and straight jaw configuration that offers direct access and precise alignment when working on the aorta and other major blood vessels.

With an overall length of 9 inches, the DeBakey Coarctation Clamp provides an ideal combination of reach, balance, and maneuverability. Its compact yet versatile design allows surgeons to maintain excellent instrument control while performing delicate vascular procedures in open or moderately deep operative fields. It is particularly valuable for surgeries requiring accurate temporary vessel occlusion without compromising surrounding tissues.

The instrument features 5.5cm straight jaws, providing a broad and stable clamping surface for secure engagement of large blood vessels. The straight jaw configuration allows precise linear placement along the vessel, making it especially suitable for open surgical approaches where unobstructed access is available. The atraumatic DeBakey serrations distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, helping minimize endothelial injury while maintaining reliable vascular occlusion.

The straight handle design offers a traditional ergonomic profile preferred by many cardiovascular and vascular surgeons. It allows natural hand positioning, excellent tactile feedback, and precise control throughout the procedure. Combined with the instrument’s balanced weight distribution, the design helps reduce hand fatigue during prolonged surgical interventions.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Coarctation Clamp delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting clinical performance. Precision engineering ensures smooth jaw alignment, dependable ratchet engagement, and consistent mechanical operation through repeated surgical use and sterilization cycles. The satin finish minimizes glare from operating room lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance.

The integrated ratchet locking mechanism provides multiple locking positions, allowing surgeons to apply controlled clamping pressure according to vessel size and procedural requirements. This ensures secure temporary vascular occlusion while preserving delicate vessel structures during procedures such as aortic coarctation repair, vascular reconstruction, arterial repair, aneurysm surgery, and bypass grafting.

Widely used in cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, and congenital cardiac procedures, the 9″ DeBakey Coarctation Clamp Straight, Straight Jaws 5.5cm is an essential addition to cardiovascular instrument trays and vascular surgery sets. Its dependable design supports efficient surgical workflow and consistent clinical performance.

The instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance help preserve jaw alignment, mechanical integrity, and long-term reliability.

The Cardiovascular Instrument 9″ DeBakey Coarctation Clamp Straight, Straight Jaws 5.5cm combines precision engineering, durable stainless steel construction, and atraumatic vessel handling to meet the demanding requirements of modern cardiovascular surgery.
