DeBakey Anastomosis Atrauma Clamp 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic occlusion of blood vessels during delicate suturing and anastomosis, this clamp permits temporary hemostasis while minimizing endothelial injury. It is commonly used in cardiovascular and thoracic cases, peripheral vascular procedures, microvascular work and transplant surgery where controlled, gentle vessel apposition is required for suturing or graft anastomosis.

Design & Configuration

Longitudinal atraumatic serrations on the jaws distribute compressive force along the vessel wall to reduce focal pressure and intimal damage compared with toothed clamps. The 17 cm length provides reach for working in moderate-depth operative fields while preserving tactile control at the handles. A hinged locking mechanism with ratchet allows the surgeon to set and maintain a consistent occlusion pressure during anastomosis without repeated manual effort.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: DeBakey anastomosis atrauma clamp
• Length: 17 cm overall
• Jaw: Longitudinal atraumatic serrations to support vessel walls without penetrating tissue
• Locking: Ratchet lock for secure temporary occlusion

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization cycles. Precision machining of the jaws ensures consistent contact geometry to support atraumatic clamping and reliable lock engagement for secure positioning. Reusable construction suitable for standard sterilization workflows in sterile processing departments.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
