Chitwood DeBakey Clamps

Chitwood DeBakey Clamps


Procedures


  • This versatile clamp is used as an aortic cross-clamp for minimally invasive cardiac procedures such as mitral valve replacement or repair
  • The selection of jaw sizes accommodates a wide range of patient sizes and anatomy
  • The wider 2×3 DeBakey jaws of the 9909-232 clamp provide an atraumatic yet secure grasp of the aorta


Procedures


  • The rounded blunt ends of the jaws are perfect for blunt dissection to mobilize the artery, vein and bronchus
  • May be used as a guide prior to stapling by passing behind the mobilized artery, vein or bronchus to replicate the direction of the linear stapler
  • May be used to clamp the lung tissue parallel to the stapler when stapling the lung tissue; this creates even tissue tension which results in a smooth, even staple line
  • The selection of jaw sizes accommodates a wide range of patient sizes and anatomy
Cat. No. Description
