Derra DeBakey Atraumatic Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

DeBakey atraumatic forceps are engineered for grasping and manipulating delicate tissues and blood vessels without creating focal crush injury. This instrument is commonly used during vascular, cardiovascular and thoracic procedures, as well as any general surgical context that requires controlled, atraumatic tissue handling—for example, vessel dissection, anastomosis assistance, atraumatic retraction of soft tissue, and handling of grafts or conduits.

Design & Configuration

The DeBakey jaw profile features long, fine longitudinal serrations that distribute grip pressure across a greater surface area, minimizing tissue trauma compared with toothed forceps. The 18 cm overall length gives the user additional reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control at the tip. The hand-held design provides precise point control and is well suited to both gross and micro-dissection when gentle, reliable traction is required.
