Carotid Shunt Clamps

Carotid Shunt Clamps

Carotid shunt clamps are instruments specifically designed to occlude the blood flow in the carotid artery during cardiothoracic surgical interventions. The main parts of a carotid shunt clamp are ringed handles, a ratcheting lock mechanism and angled jaws.

Surtex Instruments manufactures the Javid Carotid Shunt Clamp, which features two jaws, each one ending in a hollow, serrated, half-moon shaped distal tip. When both pieces are brought together by the surgeon, they form a complete ring ideal for embracing, and thereby, clamping the carotid artery. This instrument is available in two different patterns according to the half-moon shaped tips width, including a slim tip model and awide tip model designed to fit any carotid artery’s size. At Surtex instruments in line with premium quality we precision manufacture all our carotid shunt clamps using the finest stainless steel and innovative manufacturing methods.
