The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep is a high-quality cardiovascular surgical instrument designed to provide accurate and controlled tangential occlusion of the aorta and major blood vessels during complex vascular, cardiac, and thoracic procedures. Based on the trusted DeBakey design, this clamp allows surgeons to partially occlude a vessel while maintaining blood flow through the remaining lumen, making it highly effective for side-biting vascular techniques, arterial reconstruction, and graft placement procedures. Its precision engineering, atraumatic jaw design, and durable construction make it an essential instrument for professional cardiovascular surgical environments.

The instrument features 5.5cm long jaws with a 1.5cm deep profile, offering an ideal combination of vessel coverage, surgical access, and controlled compression. These dimensions allow surgeons to securely grasp and temporarily isolate a section of the vessel wall without completely stopping circulation. The clamp is particularly useful for procedures requiring precise tangential occlusion, including vascular anastomosis, arterial repair, and aortic reconstruction where maintaining partial perfusion is important.

The clamp incorporates atraumatic DeBakey-style longitudinal serrated jaws, which are specifically designed to provide a secure grip while minimizing injury to delicate vascular tissue. The fine serrations distribute pressure evenly along the vessel surface, reducing the risk of endothelial damage and helping maintain vessel integrity. This atraumatic gripping mechanism makes the instrument suitable for sensitive cardiovascular procedures where controlled handling of blood vessels is critical.

With an overall length of 10 inches, the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp provides excellent access and maneuverability during deep surgical procedures. The carefully balanced design allows surgeons to achieve precise positioning while maintaining comfortable handling throughout lengthy operations. The ergonomic profile supports improved control and reduces hand fatigue, helping surgical teams perform complex vascular interventions with greater efficiency and confidence.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this cardiovascular clamp delivers exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The high-quality material ensures reliable performance through repeated cleaning, disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization cycles. Its precision-machined components maintain accurate jaw alignment and smooth mechanical movement, providing consistent performance even under demanding surgical conditions. The satin matte finish helps minimize reflections from operating room lights, improving visibility during delicate procedures.

The ergonomic ring handles are designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip for surgeons and operating room professionals. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables controlled application of pressure and maintains stable vascular occlusion when required. The smooth box lock hinge allows effortless opening and closing, ensuring dependable operation and extending the service life of the instrument.

The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep is commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, vascular reconstruction, thoracic surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), arterial bypass procedures, aortic repair, vascular graft placement, side-biting anastomosis, transplant surgery, and major vessel reconstruction. Its ability to provide partial vascular occlusion allows surgeons to perform precise repairs while preserving blood flow through the unaffected portion of the vessel.

Designed for repeated clinical use, this surgical clamp supports efficient cleaning and strict infection control practices required in modern healthcare facilities. It is fully compatible with standard sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving, ensuring safe reuse while maintaining mechanical reliability and surgical precision. Its durable construction makes it a dependable choice for hospitals, cardiovascular centers, and vascular surgery departments.

Combining the proven DeBakey design, atraumatic serrated jaws, precise tangential occlusion capability, premium stainless steel construction, and ergonomic functionality, the 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep provides surgeons with the accuracy, durability, and confidence required for advanced cardiovascular and vascular procedures.
