DeBakey-Gerald Tissue Fcps Atrauma 1.2mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise, atraumatic handling of vessels and delicate soft tissues during vascular, cardiothoracic, transplant, and select general surgical procedures. The fine 1.2 mm tip allows controlled manipulation in confined operative fields and during microsurgical tasks such as vessel mobilization, atraumatic holding during anastomosis, and delicate tissue dissection where preservation of endothelial integrity is critical.

Design & Configuration

The combined DeBakey-Gerald geometry pairs a narrow, tapered profile with atraumatic longitudinal serrations to distribute grip force while minimizing local tissue compression. The 18 cm shaft length provides reach and working distance suitable for both superficial and deeper operative fields. The fine 1.2 mm tip width and slim jaw profile improve visibility at the point of contact and permit precise placement and repositioning without crushing delicate structures.
