Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling of blood vessels and delicate soft tissues, this instrument is suited to vascular, cardiothoracic, general, and transplant procedures where preservation of intima and fine tissue surfaces is critical. The narrow 3.5 mm jaw profile enables secure, broad-surface contact for blunt manipulation, tissue retraction, and temporary vessel control without penetrating or crushing fragile structures.
Design & Configuration
The long 30 cm shaft provides extended reach for deeper operative fields and facilitates two-handed control from the surgical field or assistant ports. The DeBakey atraumatic jaw geometry distributes pressure over a wider surface area compared with pointed toothed patterns, reducing focal compression and minimizing endothelial trauma. The fine, longitudinally oriented jaw texture allows reliable grip on slippery or friable tissues while maintaining a gentle, non-perforating hold.
