The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument is a precision-engineered vascular clamp specifically designed for temporary tangential occlusion of the aorta and other major blood vessels during cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular surgical procedures. Following the renowned DeBakey design principles, this instrument allows surgeons to partially occlude blood vessels while maintaining controlled blood flow when clinically indicated. Its advanced construction, atraumatic jaws, and ergonomic handling make it an indispensable instrument in cardiac operating rooms, vascular surgery centers, and transplant facilities.

The clamp features 5.5cm long jaws with a 1.5cm jaw depth, providing excellent access to large vascular structures while allowing controlled tangential clamping. This jaw configuration is ideal for procedures requiring partial vessel occlusion during vascular reconstruction, side-biting anastomosis, graft implantation, and arterial repair. The carefully engineered dimensions allow surgeons to isolate a portion of the vessel wall without completely interrupting blood circulation, supporting efficient and precise surgical techniques.

Equipped with atraumatic DeBakey longitudinal serrations, the jaws distribute pressure evenly across the vessel wall to minimize endothelial injury while maintaining a secure grip. Unlike aggressive toothed clamps, the fine serrated pattern helps preserve delicate vascular tissue, making the instrument particularly suitable for complex cardiovascular procedures where vessel integrity is essential. The atraumatic design also reduces the risk of slippage, providing dependable control throughout lengthy surgical interventions.

With an overall length of 10 inches, the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp offers an ideal combination of reach, maneuverability, and precision. Its balanced design enables surgeons to work comfortably in deep operative fields while maintaining exceptional tactile feedback. The ergonomic ring handles reduce hand fatigue during prolonged procedures and provide excellent control when positioning or adjusting the clamp around major vessels.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The high-quality stainless steel construction withstands repeated steam autoclave sterilization, chemical disinfectants, and continuous clinical use without affecting jaw alignment or locking performance. A satin matte finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting, improving visualization during delicate cardiovascular procedures.

A precision-engineered ratchet locking mechanism allows surgeons to apply controlled clamping pressure and maintain consistent vessel occlusion throughout the operation. The smooth box lock hinge ensures effortless opening and closing, allowing precise placement and dependable mechanical performance during critical surgical stages.

The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep is commonly used during cardiovascular surgery, aortic reconstruction, vascular bypass procedures, side-biting vascular anastomosis, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), arterial repair, vascular graft placement, thoracic surgery, and transplant procedures. Its tangential occlusion capability allows surgeons to perform vascular repairs while preserving blood flow through the remaining vessel lumen, reducing ischemic time and improving procedural flexibility.

The seamless stainless steel construction supports efficient cleaning and strict infection control standards. The clamp is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization procedures, including steam autoclaving, ensuring safe repeated use without compromising functionality. Designed for years of dependable clinical service, it is a valuable addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.

Combining the trusted DeBakey design, precision tangential occlusion capability, atraumatic serrated jaws, premium stainless steel construction, and ergonomic handling, the 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep Cardiovascular Surgical Instrument delivers the precision, reliability, and vessel protection required for today’s advanced cardiovascular and vascular surgeries.
