Derra DeBakey Atraumatic Fcps 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to handle delicate vessels and soft tissues without crushing, these atraumatic DeBakey forceps provide secure, non-slip control during vascular, cardiothoracic, transplant, and general surgical procedures. The longitudinal serrated jaw pattern permits atraumatic traction for vessel manipulation, suturing and anastomosis, atraumatic tissue retraction, and controlled tissue handling during dissection.

Design & Configuration

The DeBakey atraumatic geometry features narrow, elongated jaws with fine longitudinal serrations that distribute contact pressure along the tissue, minimizing focal compression and endothelial trauma. The thumb-forceps style gives the surgeon direct tactile feedback and fine control for delicate maneuvers. The 17 cm length balances reach and control, suitable for deeper operative fields while retaining precision at the tip.
