Description
Diethrich Atrauma Cardiovascular Forceps
The Diethrich vascular clamp holds a vessel with atraumatic jaws while the surgeon works nearby. It comes in two close lengths, 20 cm and 21 cm.
Diethrich vascular clamp: gentle vessel control
A vessel wall tolerates only light, even pressure. So the atraumatic jaws aim to stop flow without crushing tissue. Also, the team can restore flow quickly once the repair ends and the suture line looks sound.
Choosing 20 or 21 cm
The two lengths differ by only a centimeter. However, that small step can matter when reach and hand position feel tight. Many surgeons simply pick whichever one sits better in their grip.
A place in cardiovascular trays
Vascular sets usually hold several clamp patterns for different angles and depths. Then this one joins the others as a longer option for deeper exposures. In addition, it pairs well with shorter clamps for vessels near the surface.
How many to stock
Busy units may keep one Diethrich vascular clamp in each length. That way, a spare stays ready while another goes through the washer. Next, review usage after a few months and adjust stock to match what surgeons actually pick.
Cleaning Diethrich vascular clamp
Remove blood and debris from the jaws before anything dries. After washing, look closely at tip alignment and test the closing action by hand. Keep the clamp open in storage so the jaws rest without load.
