The DeBakey aortic clamp features distinctive S‑shaped shanks that permit positioning parallel to the aortic wall while maintaining surgeon control from outside the operative field. The curved 76mm jaw accommodates the full aortic diameter during cross‑clamping, while the S‑curve geometry reduces encroachment on mediastinal structures. At 185mm, it provides reach for thoracic and suprarenal aortic exposure.
Features & Benefits
- S‑shaped shank geometry enables parallel aortic wall positioning
- 76mm curved jaw ensures complete cross‑clamping positioning
