DeBakey Atrauma Fcps 90

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of delicate tissues, these forceps are used to grasp and manipulate blood vessels and thin soft tissue during vascular, cardiovascular, and microsurgical procedures. The longitudinal serrated jaws provide a secure, broad contact area that minimizes focal pressure and reduces endothelial or tissue crush injury—making the instrument suitable for vessel dissection, holding sutures during anastomosis, and atraumatic retraction of fragile structures.

Design & Configuration

The narrow, elongated jaw geometry and longitudinal serration pattern distribute gripping force along the tissue surface rather than concentrating it at points, which preserves tissue integrity. The non-locking, thumb-held configuration allows tactile feedback and fine positional control required for delicate manipulations. The overall shape and balance provide reach into confined operative fields while maintaining ergonomic control for sustained procedures.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance in repeated reprocessing. The atraumatic serrations are integral to the jaw, providing a smooth, broad contact surface that reduces tissue trauma. The instrument is designed for reusable clinical use and is compatible with routine cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization processes used in hospital and ambulatory surgery center environments.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
