Aortic aneurysm repairs, aortic dissection surgeries, and other vascular interventions where control of the aorta is required, the 9 1/2" Debakey Aortic Aneurysm Clamp (7.5 cm Teeth) is a highly specialized surgical tool made for vascular and aortic surgeries that require precise temporary occlusion of the aorta. The jaws' 7.5 cm teeth offer a firm, atraumatic grip that helps prevent slippage while minimizing damage to the vessel walls.
