This specialized hemostatic clamp is designed for use in cardiovascular and thoracic surgical settings. Its primary application is the temporary full or partial occlusion of the large blood vessels entering the heart, specifically the superior or inferior vena cava. The atraumatic design ensures minimal trauma to delicate vessel walls while providing secure clamping.

The clamp is crafted from Sklar Premium surgical stainless steel, which provides exceptional durability, reliability, and resistance to corrosion. This high-quality material ensures the instrument can withstand the rigors of demanding cardiovascular procedures.

Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Vena Cava Clamp is designed to be reusable.

Key features supporting its repeated use include:

• Premium Construction: Manufactured from Sklar Premium surgical stainless steel, ensuring durability and compliance with surgical standards.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Being reusable, it offers a long-term, cost-effective alternative to disposable instruments.

Note that this instrument is supplied non-sterile and must be properly sterilized before initial use and any subsequent reuse.

Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Vena Cava Clamp features a double-angled curvature.

This specialized design, characteristic of the DeBakey pattern, is essential for cardiovascular surgery as it:

• Enhances Accessibility: Allows the surgeon to navigate complex anatomy and reach vessels deep within the chest.
• Optimizes Placement: Ensures precise positioning for the full or partial occlusion of the superior or inferior vena cava.
• Supports Atraumatic Use: Facilitates delicate manipulation, minimizing trauma to the vessel walls when used alongside the nontraumatic fine teeth.

The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Vena Cava Clamp features a working surface with 1 x 2 rows of nontraumatic fine teeth. This specialized design is engineered to minimize damage to vessels during occlusion, ensuring a gentle and secure hold.

No, this instrument is non-sterile and must be properly sterilized before each use.

Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Vena Cava Clamp is guaranteed to be Latex-Free. This ensures safe use for patients and medical personnel with latex sensitivities.

The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Vena Cava Clamp measures 9.75 inches in length. This precise, double-angled dimension is essential for cardiovascular and thoracic surgical settings, ensuring adequate reach and control required for delicate procedures, such as the full or partial occlusion of the superior or inferior vena cava.

The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Vena Cava Clamp is a specialized hemostatic forceps used in cardiovascular and thoracic surgical settings. Its primary function is the full or partial occlusion of the superior or inferior vena cava.

Key features supporting its function include:

• Atraumatic Design: It features 1 x 2 rows of nontraumatic fine teeth to secure the vessel while minimizing potential damage.
• Curvature: The instrument has a double-angled curvature, characteristic of the DeBakey pattern, for specific surgical access.
