The DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 11″ 7.5cm Jaw is a premium vascular surgical instrument developed for precise tangential occlusion during complex cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular procedures. Designed according to the renowned DeBakey pattern, this clamp enables surgeons to achieve controlled partial vessel occlusion while preserving blood flow through the remaining vessel lumen when clinically appropriate.

With an overall length of 11 inches, this DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp provides excellent reach into deep operative fields, making it particularly suitable for procedures involving the aorta, vena cava, and other major blood vessels. The extended length offers enhanced maneuverability while maintaining precise control during intricate vascular interventions.

The instrument features 7.5cm long jaws with a 1.7cm jaw depth, providing a broad and stable clamping surface for secure vessel engagement. The carefully engineered jaw dimensions allow effective tangential occlusion of large vessels while minimizing unnecessary compression of surrounding tissues. Its atraumatic DeBakey serrations evenly distribute clamping pressure across the vessel wall, helping reduce endothelial trauma and preserving vascular integrity throughout the procedure.

This tangential occlusion clamp is commonly used in cardiovascular surgery for vascular reconstruction, aortic repair, aneurysm surgery, bypass grafting, arterial repair, vascular anastomosis, and other procedures requiring controlled vessel isolation. Its specialized design allows surgeons to perform precise vascular repairs while maintaining optimal exposure of the operative field.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision machining ensures accurate jaw alignment, smooth operation, and dependable ratchet engagement through repeated surgical use. The satin finish reduces glare under operating room lighting while supporting efficient cleaning and sterilization.

The ergonomic ring handles provide a comfortable, secure grip and excellent tactile feedback, enabling surgeons to maintain precise control during prolonged operations. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism offers multiple locking positions, allowing controlled compression based on vessel size and procedural requirements while helping reduce hand fatigue.

Widely used in cardiovascular surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, transplant procedures, and major vascular reconstruction, this clamp is an essential component of professional cardiovascular instrument trays and hospital operating room inventories. Its specialized dimensions and dependable performance make it an invaluable tool for advanced vascular procedures.

The instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Proper cleaning, inspection, and maintenance according to established healthcare protocols help preserve jaw alignment, mechanical integrity, and overall service life.
