Atraumatic Lambert Kay Aorta-Anastomosis Clamp - 20 cm (8")
Crafted from surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Lambert-Kay Aorta-Anastomosis Clamp provides cardiovascular surgeons with a dependable instrument for temporary occlusion of the aorta during various open surgical procedures.
- Atraumatic Design: Minimizes tissue damage during clamping, promoting faster healing and improved outcomes.
- Double-Angled Jaws: Conform to the curvature of the aorta, ensuring a firm and atraumatic grip.
- Longitudinal Serrations on Inner Jaw Surfaces: Enhance grasping power and prevent slippage.
- Ratcheting Mechanism: Allows for one-handed application and secure closure of the aorta.
- Ergonomic Ring Handles: Provide a comfortable grip and precise control, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
The Lambert-Kay Aorta-Anastomosis Clamp is a valuable tool for a range of procedures involving the thoracic aorta:
- Aneurysm Repair: Used to temporarily occlude the aorta during open surgical repair of a weakened or bulging aortic segment (aneurysm).
- Dissection Repair: In cases of aortic dissection, where a tear occurs in the inner lining of the aorta, this clamp can isolate the segment for repair.
- Valve Replacement: Provides temporary aortic occlusion to facilitate removal of the diseased aortic valve and implantation of a prosthetic replacement.
The Lambert-Kay Aorta-Anastomosis Clamp may also be referred to as a side-biting aortic clamp or a Lambert clamp.
