The 9 5/8″ DeBakey Acutely Curved Clamp is a high-quality cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed to provide surgeons with precise control, enhanced access, and reliable vessel handling during demanding surgical procedures. Based on the trusted DeBakey instrument design, this clamp features an acutely curved jaw profile that allows improved maneuverability around vessels and anatomical structures where standard straight or gently curved clamps may not provide adequate access. Its specialized design makes it an essential tool for cardiovascular surgery, vascular reconstruction, arterial procedures, and other applications requiring accurate tissue manipulation and temporary occlusion.

The acute curved design of this DeBakey clamp allows surgeons to approach vessels from an optimal angle while maintaining excellent visualization of the operative field. The sharper curvature provides enhanced access in deep or restricted anatomical areas, enabling precise positioning around vessels without excessive tissue retraction. This design is especially beneficial during complex vascular procedures where controlled instrument placement and reliable handling are essential.

With an overall length of 9 5/8 inches, the clamp offers an ideal combination of reach, balance, and maneuverability. The extended length allows access to deeper surgical fields while maintaining comfortable handling and precise tactile feedback. Its carefully balanced construction helps surgeons perform delicate movements with confidence, supporting accurate vessel isolation, occlusion, and manipulation throughout the procedure.

The instrument features atraumatic DeBakey-style serrated jaws, designed to provide a secure grip while minimizing injury to delicate vascular tissues. The fine longitudinal serrations distribute pressure evenly across the vessel surface, helping prevent slipping and reducing the risk of endothelial trauma. This atraumatic jaw design makes the clamp suitable for handling fragile vascular structures while maintaining dependable control during surgical applications.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the DeBakey Acutely Curved Clamp offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. The high-quality material ensures consistent performance after repeated cleaning, disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization cycles. Precision manufacturing maintains accurate jaw alignment, smooth hinge movement, and reliable locking performance throughout extended use. The satin matte finish reduces glare from surgical lighting, helping improve visibility during delicate procedures.

The ergonomic ring handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, allowing surgeons to maintain excellent control during complex operations. The precision ratchet locking mechanism enables controlled pressure application and secure positioning when required. The smooth box lock hinge ensures effortless opening and closing while supporting reliable mechanical performance over time.

The 9 5/8″ DeBakey Acutely Curved Clamp is commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, vascular reconstruction, arterial repair, bypass procedures, aortic surgery, vessel dissection, graft placement, thoracic surgery, and reconstructive vascular applications. Its specialized curved design allows surgeons to perform vessel grasping, temporary occlusion, and controlled manipulation with improved accessibility in challenging operative areas.

Designed for professional surgical environments, this clamp supports strict hospital cleaning and sterilization standards. The stainless steel construction allows thorough cleaning and compatibility with standard steam autoclave sterilization procedures. Its durable design ensures dependable performance in hospitals, cardiovascular centers, and specialized surgical facilities.

Combining the trusted DeBakey design, acute curved profile, atraumatic gripping capability, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction, the 9 5/8″ DeBakey Acutely Curved Clamp delivers the precision, versatility, and durability required for advanced cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures.
