DeBakey Ligature Clamp 24cm

Clinical Application

Engineered for atraumatic handling of blood vessels and delicate tissues, this DeBakey ligature clamp facilitates secure placement of ligatures and temporary control of bleeding during vascular, general, thoracic, and transplant procedures. The 24 cm length provides reach into deeper operative fields and narrow cavities, making it useful for both open and limited-access exposures where precise, gentle tissue control is required.

Design & Configuration

The long, slim shaft and ratchet-lock handle allow surgeons to maintain consistent, controllable pressure without continuous manual force. Fine, atraumatic jaws with DeBakey-style longitudinal serrations distribute securing forces along the vessel to minimize endothelial trauma and reduce the risk of crush injury. The ratchet mechanism offers tactile feedback for progressive closure, aiding reliable ligature placement and intraoperative hemostasis.
