DeBakey Atraumatic Tissue Fcps 3.5mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

DeBakey atraumatic forceps are designed to manipulate delicate vascular tissue and soft tissue without crushing or creating focal trauma. The atraumatic longitudinal serrations distribute pressure along the grasp, minimizing intimal injury to vessels during dissection, vessel control, handling of suture material and microvascular anastomosis. With a 24 cm shaft and 3.5 mm jaw width, this configuration provides reach and a broad contact surface suitable for intra-abdominal, thoracic and cardiovascular procedures where careful tissue handling is required.

Design & Configuration

The tweezer-style thumb forceps geometry gives precise fingertip control and tactile feedback for fine maneuvers. The DeBakey-style jaws use long, fine longitudinal serrations rather than teeth to reduce concentrated pressure points, which lowers the risk of vessel wall damage and slippage. A 24 cm overall length offers additional working reach for deeper operative fields while the 3.5 mm jaw width balances secure tissue purchase with visibility at the tip.
