The DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 9¾″ 4.8cm Jaw is a high-quality cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered to provide reliable tangential vascular occlusion during complex cardiac, vascular, and thoracic procedures. Designed in the classic DeBakey pattern, this specialized clamp enables surgeons to achieve controlled partial occlusion of large blood vessels while maintaining blood flow through the remaining vessel lumen when clinically appropriate.

With an overall length of 9¾ inches, this tangential occlusion clamp offers an ideal balance between maneuverability and surgical reach. It is particularly well suited for procedures involving medium to large vessels where accurate vascular control and unobstructed surgical access are essential. The balanced design enhances handling while allowing precise instrument placement in confined or deep operative fields.

The clamp features 4.8cm long jaws with a 1.6cm jaw depth, providing an optimal clamping surface for secure engagement of blood vessels during vascular repair and reconstruction. The carefully proportioned jaws allow surgeons to perform tangential occlusion with excellent stability while minimizing compression of surrounding tissues. The atraumatic DeBakey serrations distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, reducing the risk of endothelial injury and preserving vascular integrity throughout the procedure.

This instrument is commonly used during cardiovascular surgery, vascular reconstruction, aortic repair, aneurysm surgery, bypass grafting, arterial repair, and vascular anastomosis. The tangential occlusion design enables effective vessel isolation while maintaining an organized surgical field, making the clamp an essential instrument for advanced vascular interventions.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Precision machining ensures smooth jaw alignment, consistent locking performance, and dependable operation throughout repeated surgical use. The satin finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting and supports efficient cleaning and sterilization.

Ergonomic ring handles provide a secure, comfortable grip and superior tactile feedback, enabling surgeons to maintain precise control during lengthy procedures. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism offers multiple locking positions, allowing controlled clamping pressure tailored to vessel size and surgical requirements while reducing hand fatigue.

Widely used in cardiovascular surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, transplant procedures, and major vascular reconstructions, this clamp is an essential component of professional cardiovascular instrument sets and hospital operating room inventories.

The instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance help preserve jaw alignment, mechanical integrity, and long-term clinical performance.

The 9¾″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 4.8cm Long, 1.6cm Deep Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument combines precision engineering, atraumatic vessel handling, and durable stainless steel construction to deliver dependable vascular control for modern cardiovascular surgical procedures.
