Design & Function
The Schumaker Aortic Clamp features a 60° angled working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during aortic occlusion. The angled jaw design can assist in positioning the working end according to the requirements of the operative field.
The atraumatic jaw profile provides a defined clamping profile, while the 8 3/8-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for cardiovascular procedures requiring an angled aortic clamp.
Surgical Applications
The 8 3/8″ Schumaker Aortic Clamp may be used for cardiovascular and vascular surgery applications involving controlled occlusion of the aorta. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.
Handling & Instrument Care
Inspect the aortic clamp before use, paying particular attention to the working end, jaw alignment, and cutting edges. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.
After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the aortic clamp appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
