DeBakey Kelly Artery Fcps str 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic occlusion of small-to-medium vessels and controlled handling of delicate tissues, this straight DeBakey Kelly artery forceps is used to achieve hemostasis and temporary vascular control during vascular, general, cardiothoracic, transplant, and select microsurgical procedures. At 14 cm overall length, it is sized for shallow to moderate depth operative fields where precise tip placement and gentle tissue contact are required.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration provides a direct approach to vessels in open fields and gives the surgeon fine tactile control when positioning the jaws. DeBakey-style longitudinal serrations along the jaw create an atraumatic grip that distributes pressure across the vessel wall to reduce local trauma while maintaining reliable hold. A ratcheted locking mechanism secures the clamp without constant manual pressure, and ring handles with a precision box lock deliver consistent alignment and tactile feedback for controlled closure and release.
