9 5/8″ Cleveland Clinic Renal Clamp, Right Large

Specialized Cleveland Clinic Pedicle Access

The Surgiportal Cleveland Clinic Renal Clamp is designed to meet the extreme demands of radical nephrectomies, partial nephrectomies, and complex retroperitoneal surgeries.

• Optimized Large Right Curvature: The broad, sweeping curve of the large right jaw profile is anatomically tailored to navigate around the right renal pelvis and vascular hilum, allowing the surgeon to loop, clamp, and isolate the renal artery and vein with unparalleled precision.

• Ergonomic Retroperitoneal Approach: The 9 ⅝” (24.5cm) length provides the essential physical reach needed to operate comfortably in deep, narrow surgical corridors, maintaining a clear line of sight.

Atraumatic Hemostasis & Vessel Protection

Managing the high-pressure renal artery and the delicate, thin-walled renal vein requires a highly sophisticated mechanical interface.

• DeBakey-Style Serrations: The jaws are engineered with micro-interlocking rib patterns that distribute mechanical pressure evenly across the vascular walls. This prevents the clamp from sliding under hemodynamic pressure while shielding the delicate vessel intima from cracking or crushing.

• Fine-Tuned Ratchet Lock: The multi-step ratchet closure allows the surgical team to adjust the clamping tension in highly controlled, incremental stages, adapting seamlessly to the diameter and thickness of the target vessel.

OR-Grade Durability and Materials

Cardiovascular and urological procedures involve high-stakes tension. Forged from high-tensile, surgical-grade stainless steel, this clamp is engineered to resist flexing or alignment drift under heavy load. A low-glare satin finish is applied to eliminate harsh light reflections from operating room headlights or laparoscopic cameras, ensuring optimal visual focus.

Reliable & Sustainable

As a fully autoclavable and reusable instrument, the Surgiportal Cleveland Clinic Renal Clamp represents a durable, professional-grade investment for high-volume surgical units. Its robust, open-box lock joint design allows for thorough decontamination and smooth, seamless hinge operation over a lifetime of use.

Features & Benefits

• 9 ⅝” (24.5cm) Frame: Extended reach designed specifically for deep abdominal and retroperitoneal surgery.

• Large Right-Curve Jaws: Anatomically optimized for isolating the right renal vascular pedicle.

• DeBakey Atraumatic Serrations: Eliminates vessel slippage while preventing localized intima trauma.

• Incremental Ratchet Lock: Enables safe, multi-stage pressure adjustment.

• Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: High strength-to-weight ratio to prevent mechanical jaw deflection.

• Low-Glare Satin Finish: Minimizes reflections under intense operating room lighting.

• Fully Autoclavable: Engineered for repeated steam sterilization and long-term clinical reliability.

FAQs

1. What is the main clinical difference between the Left and Right Cleveland Clinic Clamps?

The curvature is mirrored to facilitate access from specific surgical approaches. The Large Right model is anatomically angled to safely approach, clear, and isolate the right renal pedicle or work comfortably from the right side of the abdominal aorta during dissection.

2. Is this clamp suitable for pediatric urology?

No. The 9 ⅝” frame and large jaw curvature are designed for adult anatomy. For pediatric cases, we recommend smaller-profile Cooley or pediatric-specific renal clamps.

3. How should I clean and lubricate the box-lock hinge?

Immediately after use, rinse the clamp to prevent blood from drying in the hinge mechanism. Scrub the DeBakey jaw serrations with a soft-bristled nylon brush and a neutral pH enzymatic cleaner. Apply a drop of water-soluble surgical instrument lubricant to the box joint and ratchet teeth prior to autoclaving.
