The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 6.0cm Long, 1.4cm Deep is a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument specifically engineered to provide precise tangential occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during advanced cardiac, vascular, thoracic, and transplant procedures. Designed according to the renowned DeBakey pattern, this instrument enables surgeons to partially occlude blood vessels while preserving blood flow through the remaining lumen, making it ideal for side-biting vascular procedures and complex arterial reconstruction. Its superior craftsmanship and atraumatic jaw design make it an essential instrument in modern cardiovascular operating rooms.

The clamp features 6.0cm long jaws with a 1.4cm jaw depth, providing an optimal balance between vessel coverage and surgical maneuverability. The carefully engineered jaw dimensions allow surgeons to isolate a section of the vessel wall for anastomosis, graft placement, and arterial repair without completely interrupting circulation. This tangential occlusion capability supports improved surgical efficiency while helping reduce ischemic time during complex cardiovascular procedures.

The jaws are equipped with atraumatic DeBakey longitudinal serrations, which evenly distribute clamping pressure across the vessel wall to minimize endothelial injury. The fine serrations provide a secure grip on delicate vascular tissue without the aggressive compression associated with toothed clamps. This atraumatic design helps preserve vessel integrity while maintaining dependable temporary occlusion throughout the procedure, making the instrument particularly suitable for sensitive cardiovascular and vascular surgeries.

With an overall length of 10 inches, the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp offers excellent reach into thoracic and abdominal operative fields while maintaining superior control and balance. Its ergonomic design allows surgeons to comfortably manipulate the instrument in deep surgical sites without excessive hand fatigue. The balanced construction enhances tactile feedback, contributing to greater precision during prolonged operations.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the clamp provides exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term reliability. The high-quality material withstands repeated exposure to steam autoclave sterilization, chemical disinfectants, and routine hospital reprocessing while maintaining precise jaw alignment and smooth hinge performance. The satin matte finish minimizes glare under surgical lighting, improving visualization and reducing eye strain during intricate procedures.

The ergonomic ring handles provide a secure, comfortable grip that enhances instrument control during every stage of surgery. A precision ratchet locking mechanism enables surgeons to apply consistent clamping pressure while maintaining stable vessel occlusion until restoration of blood flow is required. The smooth box lock hinge ensures effortless opening and closing, supporting accurate placement and dependable long-term mechanical performance.

The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 6.0cm Long, 1.4cm Deep is widely used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic reconstruction, arterial bypass surgery, vascular graft placement, side-biting vascular anastomosis, arterial repair, aortic aneurysm surgery, cardiovascular reconstruction, thoracic surgery, and transplant procedures. Its tangential occlusion capability enables surgeons to perform precise vascular repairs while preserving partial blood flow, enhancing surgical flexibility and supporting improved patient outcomes.

Designed for repeated professional use, the seamless stainless steel construction supports efficient cleaning and strict infection control protocols. The instrument is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization and hospital reprocessing procedures, ensuring safe reuse without compromising functionality. Its durable engineering provides years of reliable clinical service, making it an excellent addition to cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.

Combining the trusted DeBakey design, precision tangential occlusion capability, atraumatic serrated jaws, premium stainless steel construction, ergonomic handling, and outstanding craftsmanship, the 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 6.0cm Long, 1.4cm Deep delivers the precision, reliability, and durability required for today’s advanced cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures.
