The 12 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10mm Shaft 65mm Jaws is a specialized thoracoscopic surgical instrument designed for advanced minimally invasive cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Combining the trusted DeBakey atraumatic jaw design with a long VATS-compatible shaft, this clamp provides surgeons with enhanced reach, precise control, and reliable vessel manipulation within confined operative spaces.

With an overall length of 12 3/4 inches (approximately 32.4 cm) and a 10mm shaft diameter, this VATS DeBakey Clamp is engineered for procedures requiring extended access through minimally invasive surgical ports. The elongated shaft allows surgeons to reach deeper anatomical structures while maintaining excellent visibility and control. Its slim profile supports efficient maneuverability during complex thoracoscopic and cardiovascular procedures.

The key feature of the VATS DeBakey Clamp 65mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws Cardiovascular Clamp is its atraumatic DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration. These specialized jaws provide a secure grip while minimizing trauma to delicate vascular tissues. The fine serration pattern helps distribute pressure evenly, allowing controlled handling of vessels and tissues without unnecessary damage.

The 65mm jaw length provides a practical working surface for thoracic and cardiovascular applications requiring stable grasping and controlled vessel manipulation. The DeBakey jaw design is widely recognized for its ability to provide reliable traction while preserving tissue integrity, making it suitable for delicate surgical environments.

This thoracoscopic cardiovascular clamp is commonly used in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, VATS procedures, vascular reconstruction, thoracic surgery, vessel handling, and cardiovascular tissue manipulation. Its extended shaft design allows surgeons to perform precise movements while maintaining comfortable hand positioning outside the surgical field.

The ergonomic construction of the 12 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp improves surgical efficiency by providing balanced handling and accurate instrument control. The smooth operating mechanism allows controlled opening and closing of the jaws, supporting precise placement during technically demanding procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this VATS cardiovascular clamp provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth mechanical performance, accurate jaw alignment, and dependable function through repeated surgical use. The satin finish reduces glare and supports easy cleaning and maintenance.

The instrument is designed for professional operating room environments and is compatible with standard sterilization protocols, including steam autoclaving. The durable stainless steel construction maintains structural integrity, jaw precision, and reliable performance through repeated sterilization cycles.

The 12 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10mm Shaft, 65mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws Cardio Vascular Thoracoscopic Clamp combines minimally invasive access, atraumatic vessel control, and advanced surgical engineering. Its long shaft, precise jaw design, and dependable performance make it an essential instrument for cardiovascular surgeons and thoracic specialists performing complex minimally invasive procedures.
