The Pulmonary Artery Clamp 9″, Small Shaft with 20mm Atraumatic Jaws is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered to provide safe and effective temporary occlusion of the pulmonary artery during complex cardiothoracic and vascular procedures. Designed with a 9-inch overall length, a slim shaft, and 20mm atraumatic jaws, this clamp delivers exceptional reach, precise vessel control, and gentle tissue handling. It is an indispensable instrument for cardiac surgeons performing procedures that require reliable vascular isolation while preserving vessel integrity.

Temporary occlusion of the pulmonary artery is a critical step in many cardiac and thoracic surgeries, allowing surgeons to create a controlled operative field for vascular repair, pulmonary artery reconstruction, congenital heart defect correction, valve procedures, and lung transplantation. The Pulmonary Artery Clamp 9″ is specifically engineered to apply balanced clamping pressure, temporarily interrupting blood flow while minimizing trauma to the vessel wall. This controlled occlusion enhances surgical precision and contributes to improved procedural outcomes.

The small shaft design allows easy access to deep or confined operative fields commonly encountered during cardiothoracic surgery. Its slender profile improves visibility and maneuverability around surrounding anatomical structures, enabling precise clamp placement without excessive tissue manipulation. This feature is particularly valuable during minimally invasive or technically demanding procedures where surgical access is limited.

The clamp features 20mm atraumatic jaws, carefully designed to distribute pressure evenly across the pulmonary artery. The atraumatic jaw profile minimizes the risk of vessel injury, intimal damage, or unnecessary compression while maintaining secure vascular occlusion throughout the procedure. This gentle yet effective clamping action is essential for preserving vascular tissue during delicate cardiac and pulmonary operations.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Pulmonary Artery Clamp 9″, Small Shaft with 20mm Atraumatic Jaws offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision machining ensures accurate jaw alignment, smooth instrument operation, and dependable clamping performance. The satin finish reduces glare from operating room lighting while providing a smooth surface that supports efficient cleaning and maintenance.

Its ergonomic handle design enhances surgeon comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. The balanced construction allows precise manipulation and stable positioning, making the clamp suitable for both routine and advanced cardiothoracic surgeries.

This instrument is widely used in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, pulmonary artery reconstruction, congenital heart surgery, heart valve procedures, lung transplantation, vascular repair, and pulmonary vascular interventions. Its dependable performance makes it an essential component of professional cardiovascular surgical instrument sets.

The clamp is fully reusable and compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its robust stainless steel construction withstands repeated sterilization cycles without compromising performance, ensuring long service life and cost-effective use in busy surgical environments.

The Pulmonary Artery Clamp 9″, Small Shaft with 20mm Atraumatic Jaws combines precision engineering, atraumatic vessel handling, and premium materials to meet the demanding requirements of modern cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgery. It delivers the reliability, accuracy, and durability surgeons expect during critical vascular procedures.
