12 Fitzgerald Aortic Aneurysm Clamp curved jaws

Extended Reach and Controlled Handling for Surgical Clamping

The 12" Fitzgerald Aortic Aneurysm Clamp with curved jaws is a surgical clamp intended for controlled vessel clamping where extended reach and shaped jaw access are important. Its 12-inch overall length can help the surgeon work toward deeper operative areas while maintaining an appropriate handle position outside the field. The curved jaw profile supports approach around anatomical structures and can aid visibility during cardiovascular procedures and relevant general surgery workflows. Built for focused instrument handling, this clamp provides a practical option when a longer, curved configuration is preferred for access, positioning, and controlled application.

Use Cases

• Apply as an aortic aneurysm clamp during cardiovascular surgical workflows requiring a long, curved-jaw configuration.
• Support vessel-clamping tasks where extended reach helps maintain working distance from the operative site.
• Use the curved jaws to approach clamping points around nearby anatomical structures in cardiovascular procedures.
• Include in general surgery instrument setups when the procedure calls for a 12-inch clamp with curved jaws.
• Handle and position the instrument deliberately during operative exposure, clamping, and release steps in accordance with facility protocols.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the clamp according to applicable facility protocols and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved jaws, working surfaces, and instrument function before use; remove the clamp from service if damage or irregular operation is observed.
• Handle the 12-inch instrument carefully during transport and storage to protect the jaws from impact, bending, or contact with other instruments.
• Store in a manner that keeps the curved jaws protected and allows the instrument to remain clean and readily accessible.
