The 14-1/2″ VATS Debakey Clamp 10mm Shaft, 110mm Tapered Debakey 1×2 Jaws is a specialized minimally invasive surgical instrument engineered for use during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), cardiovascular surgery, and other advanced thoracic procedures. Its long, slender profile allows surgeons to access deep anatomical structures through small incisions while maintaining excellent precision and visibility.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the clamp offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The 10 mm diameter shaft is designed for smooth insertion and precise maneuverability through minimally invasive surgical ports.
The 110 mm tapered DeBakey 1×2 jaws feature atraumatic longitudinal serrations that provide a secure grip on delicate blood vessels and soft tissues while minimizing the risk of tissue injury. This design enables precise clamping and controlled manipulation during complex thoracic and cardiovascular procedures.
Measuring 14-1/2 inches (approximately 36.8 cm) in overall length, the clamp provides extended reach for deep operative fields while maintaining excellent balance and handling. The ergonomic finger ring handles and ratchet locking mechanism allow secure clamping pressure and comfortable operation throughout lengthy procedures.
The polished finish enhances resistance to staining and corrosion while simplifying cleaning and sterilization. Designed for repeated professional use, the VATS DeBakey Clamp maintains its jaw alignment, locking performance, and structural integrity through frequent autoclave sterilization cycles.
Ideal for hospitals, cardiovascular centers, thoracic surgery units, and specialty surgical facilities, the 14-1/2″ VATS DeBakey Clamp combines precision engineering, minimally invasive functionality, and durable stainless steel construction to meet the demands of advanced surgical practice.
