The 9 3/4″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 4.8cm Long, 1.6cm Deep is a high-performance cardiovascular surgical instrument specifically designed for precise tangential occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during advanced vascular, cardiac, and thoracic procedures. Based on the trusted DeBakey design, this clamp enables surgeons to partially occlude a vessel while maintaining blood flow through the remaining lumen, making it an essential tool for side-biting vascular techniques, arterial reconstruction, and graft-related procedures. Its precision engineering, atraumatic jaw technology, and durable construction provide surgeons with reliable control in demanding surgical environments.

The instrument features 4.8cm long jaws with a 1.6cm jaw depth, offering an ideal balance between vessel coverage and surgical maneuverability. These carefully designed dimensions allow controlled engagement of the vessel wall while providing sufficient working space for vascular repair and reconstruction. The clamp is particularly effective in procedures requiring partial occlusion, where maintaining circulation through the unclamped section of the vessel is clinically important.

The DeBakey-style atraumatic longitudinal serrated jaws provide a secure grip while minimizing damage to delicate vascular structures. The fine serrations distribute pressure evenly along the vessel surface, reducing the risk of endothelial injury and preventing unnecessary tissue trauma. This atraumatic jaw design allows surgeons to achieve stable vascular occlusion while preserving vessel integrity during complex cardiovascular interventions.

With an overall length of 9 3/4 inches, this tangential occlusion clamp provides excellent reach and control for a variety of operative fields. The balanced construction enables smooth manipulation around major blood vessels while maintaining excellent tactile feedback. Its ergonomic profile supports precise positioning and reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures, helping surgeons perform intricate vascular techniques with greater confidence.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the clamp offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The high-quality material ensures the instrument maintains its precise alignment, smooth hinge movement, and mechanical strength after repeated exposure to cleaning solutions, disinfectants, and steam autoclave sterilization. The satin matte finish reduces reflections from surgical lighting, supporting improved visibility during delicate cardiovascular procedures.

The ergonomically designed ring handles provide a comfortable and secure grip, allowing surgeons to maintain precise control throughout the operation. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables controlled application of clamping pressure and maintains stable vessel occlusion when required. The smooth box lock hinge allows effortless opening and closing while ensuring consistent performance and extended instrument life.

The 9 3/4″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 4.8cm Long, 1.6cm Deep is widely used during cardiovascular surgery, aortic reconstruction, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), vascular bypass procedures, arterial repair, side-biting anastomosis, vascular graft placement, thoracic surgery, transplant procedures, and major vessel reconstruction. Its tangential clamping capability allows surgeons to perform precise repairs while preserving partial blood flow, providing greater flexibility during complex vascular operations.

Designed for repeated professional use, this instrument supports efficient cleaning and strict infection control requirements in hospitals and surgical centers. It is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization and routine surgical reprocessing procedures, ensuring safe reuse without compromising precision or reliability. Its durable construction makes it a valuable addition to cardiovascular and vascular instrument collections.

Combining the trusted DeBakey design, atraumatic serrated jaws, precise tangential occlusion functionality, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction, the 9 3/4″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 4.8cm Long, 1.6cm Deep delivers the accuracy, durability, and surgical confidence required for advanced cardiovascular and vascular procedures.
