The DeBakey Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shaft is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for precise occlusion and control of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) during cardiac procedures. It is widely used in pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and thoracic surgery where accurate vessel management and atraumatic handling are essential for safe and effective surgical outcomes.

This instrument is engineered with an angled shaft design that enhances surgical access to deep and confined thoracic regions. The angled configuration allows surgeons to reach the ductus arteriosus with improved visibility and reduced obstruction from surrounding anatomical structures. This is particularly important in pediatric and neonatal cardiac procedures where precision and space constraints are critical challenges.

The DeBakey jaw design incorporates finely crafted atraumatic serrations that ensure secure yet gentle vessel handling. These serrations distribute pressure evenly across the vessel surface, minimizing the risk of endothelial injury, tissue trauma, or excessive compression. This feature is essential when working with delicate cardiovascular structures such as the ductus arteriosus.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the clamp provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. It is designed to withstand repeated autoclave sterilization cycles without loss of alignment or performance. This ensures consistent functionality in high-demand surgical environments such as pediatric cardiac operating rooms and cardiovascular units.

The ergonomic handle design offers enhanced control and comfort during delicate surgical procedures. Its balanced construction allows smooth and precise opening and closing of the jaws, reducing hand fatigue and improving accuracy during prolonged operations. The angled shaft further enhances maneuverability in deep thoracic surgical fields, making it easier to access and isolate the ductus arteriosus.

A satin-polished finish improves both hygiene and performance by reducing tissue adhesion and facilitating easy cleaning after use. The smooth surface supports efficient sterilization and helps maintain strict infection-control standards in surgical environments. The instrument is fully autoclavable and reusable, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice for modern healthcare facilities.

The DeBakey Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shaft is widely used in pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, and congenital heart defect repair procedures. Its combination of angled shaft design, atraumatic jaw structure, and durable stainless steel construction makes it a reliable instrument for delicate and high-precision surgical interventions.

By providing secure ductus control, improved deep-field access, and minimized tissue trauma, this clamp enhances surgical precision, safety, and efficiency in complex cardiac procedures.
