DeBakey Atraumatic Tissue Fcps 2.7mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of vessels and delicate soft tissues, this instrument is commonly used during vascular, cardiothoracic, transplant, and general surgical procedures where minimizing endothelial or tissue crush is critical. The 2.7 mm atraumatic jaw provides a broad contact surface that distributes pressure to reduce tissue injury, making it suitable for vessel preparation, suture handling during anastomosis, and atraumatic retraction in deep or confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's long 24 cm length facilitates reach into deep cavities while preserving tactile control at the tip. Atraumatic DeBakey-style jaws feature fine longitudinal contact surfaces that secure tissue without penetrating or tearing. The thumb-forceps configuration enables precise fingertip control for delicate manipulations and suture handling; the elongated shaft improves access to mediastinal, retroperitoneal, and deep abdominal anatomy where short instruments can be awkward.
