Portaclamp® has been successfully used in more than 100 interventions and has led to 0 TIA and 0 CVA.

Direct and self guided access
Thanks to its flexible guide inserted in the transverse sinus, Portaclamp® is really easy to get into position.

Safe
The jaw guiding system, which operates independently, provides the surgeon with complete liberty in placing the clamp, without risk of damaging the aortic and pulmonary arteries.

Atraumatic
Portaclamp® has been designed so as to ensure a uniform clamping pressure over the whole length of the jaws.

In particular, thanks to a parallel damping, it prevents the pinching effect caused by standard clamps.

Portaclamp® induces a lower pressure over a larger area, but sufficient to preserve the quality of the aortic tissue as well as possible.

Reliable
Portaclamp® was subjected to numerous in vitro tests and clinical trials before it was introduced on the market.

Since then it has been used successfully in many interventions: MVR-AVR-CABG-ASD-Myxoma
