DeBakey Atraumatic Blood Vessel Clamp 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure, atraumatic occlusion of blood vessels, this DeBakey-pattern vessel clamp is used to temporarily control arterial and venous flow during vascular repair, bypass grafting, anastomosis and a wide range of open surgical procedures. The atraumatic jaws permit stable clamping with minimal intimal injury, making the instrument appropriate for delicate vessel handling and procedures where preservation of the vessel wall integrity is essential.

Design & Configuration

The DeBakey pattern features slender jaws with longitudinal atraumatic serrations that distribute clamping pressure along the vessel length rather than concentrating it at discrete teeth. This geometry reduces the risk of endothelial damage and minimizes slippage. At 16 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and fine control for use in confined operative fields. A locking mechanism maintains sustained occlusion without continuous manual pressure, freeing the surgeon's hands for suturing or graft preparation.
