DeBakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp
Also called DeBakey Aortic Clamp
A long, heavy vascular clamp with ring handles, a ratchet, curved shanks and long jaws lined with fine DeBakey atraumatic serrations. The jaws hold a vessel closed without crushing it.
Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Occludes the aorta, partly or completely, during aneurysm repair and graft placement, for example across the neck of a saccular aneurysm or while a fusiform aneurysm is removed and replaced with a graft. It can also tunnel under tissue to pull a graft through to its distal anastomosis.
Sizes & variants
The lengths, angles and patterns it comes in.
About 9½ in (24 cm) to 13⅛ in (33.5 cm) long, with jaws about 3⅜ to 5⅜ in (8.7-13.6 cm); the longer ones have 2 x 3 DeBakey serrations (Integra Jarit 320-280 to 320-286). Teleflex Pilling models run 10⅜-13¼ in with 3¾-5¾ in jaws. Fully curved versions are also made.
