DeBakey Atraumatic Tissue Fcps 3.5mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of delicate tissues, these forceps provide a secure, non-crushing grip on blood vessels and fine soft tissue. They are commonly used in vascular, cardiothoracic, and general surgical procedures where preservation of tissue integrity and endothelial surfaces is critical. The atraumatic tip minimizes tissue trauma during dissection, suture handling, vessel control, and tissue manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action thumb configuration allows single-hand, fingertip control and rapid repositioning. A 3.5 mm atraumatic jaw presents a broad contact surface that distributes pressure to reduce focal compression of vessels and fragile tissue. The 16 cm overall length balances reach into deeper operative fields with tactile control at the tips, making the instrument useful on surface and moderately deep tissue planes.
