5 Castaneda Clamp curved shanks angled jaw 30°

Controlled Access for Cardiovascular and General Surgical Clamping

The 5" Castaneda Clamp is a surgical clamp designed for controlled grasping and temporary retention during cardiovascular and general surgery workflows. Its curved shanks and 30° angled jaw provide a shaped profile for approaching structures from an offset direction, helping the instrument align with the operative field while keeping the handle positioned for practical manipulation. At 5 inches overall, it supports work where a compact clamp is preferred for close-range handling and access. The curved configuration can also help maintain a clear line of sight around the working area, supporting deliberate instrument placement and organized surgical technique.

Use Cases

• Apply for controlled clamping and retention tasks in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Use in general surgery when a curved clamp profile is suited to the operative approach.
• Approach structures from an offset direction using the 30° angled jaw.
• Use the curved shanks to position the handle while working around the operative field.
• Select for close-range clamping tasks where a 5-inch overall length supports compact handling.

Specifications
