Harken Vena-Cava Forceps

Description

Harken Vena-Cava Forceps

The Harken vena cava clamp controls flow in the vena cava during cardiac and thoracic procedures. It measures 24 cm and comes in three figures.

Harken vena cava clamp: three figures

We offer Figures 1, 2 and 3. Please tell us the figure number your surgeons request when ordering. Then we supply the exact pattern they expect, so nothing changes at the table.

Reach in the chest

Its 24 cm length reaches the great veins through a standard opening. So the surgeon keeps hands out of the working field. Meanwhile, the length gives steady control during placement.

Where it fits

Surgeons use caval clamps to control venous return around the heart. Therefore this pattern belongs on many cardiac trays. Also, it suits thoracic cases near the great veins.

Ordering by figure

Each Harken vena cava clamp figure ships as a separate item. First, confirm which figure your team uses. Next, add a second figure if your surgeons switch between them.

Reprocessing Harken vena cava clamp

Flush the jaws open under running water soon after the case. Then brush the jaw faces and pivot, and dry completely. Finally, check alignment and store it in a long slot away from heavier retractors.
