DeBakey Atrauma Blood Vessel Clamp 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic temporary occlusion of blood vessels, this clamp is used to control arterial and venous flow during vascular repair, anastomosis, bypass procedures, and other operations requiring delicate vessel handling. The atraumatic jaw pattern reduces endothelial compression and surface injury, making it appropriate for use on medium- to small-caliber vessels where preservation of vessel integrity is critical.

Design & Configuration

The slender 17 cm profile offers reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control. Fine longitudinal serrations characteristic of the DeBakey pattern distribute clamping force along the vessel length to minimize focal pressure points. A ratcheted locking mechanism permits secure, adjustable occlusion without continuous manual compression, and the box-lock hinge provides stable jaw alignment under load—features that together facilitate precise control during microvascular maneuvers and suturing.

Instrument Specifications

• Length: 17 cm
