The VATS Harken #2 Clamp 10mm Shaft DeBakey Jaws is a specialized minimally invasive surgical instrument designed for advanced cardiovascular and thoracic procedures. Engineered for Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) applications, this clamp combines the proven Harken clamp design with DeBakey atraumatic jaw technology to provide surgeons with precise control, improved access, and reliable tissue handling in confined surgical environments.

Featuring a 10mm shaft diameter and 95mm DeBakey 1×2 jaws, this cardiovascular clamp is optimized for minimally invasive procedures where instrument profile, precision, and maneuverability are essential. The extended shaft allows surgeons to reach deeper anatomical areas while maintaining excellent control through small access points. Its design supports efficient manipulation of vascular structures while reducing unnecessary tissue disruption.

The primary feature of the VATS Harken #2 Clamp is its DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration. These atraumatic jaws provide a secure yet gentle grip on vascular tissues, allowing surgeons to stabilize, manipulate, and control structures while minimizing the risk of tissue injury. The fine tooth pattern improves holding capability while distributing pressure evenly across the grasped tissue.

The 95mm jaw length provides a suitable working surface for thoracic and cardiovascular applications requiring controlled vessel handling. The precision jaw design allows surgeons to perform delicate procedures with improved accuracy, making this instrument valuable for minimally invasive vascular surgery, thoracic procedures, cardiac interventions, and vessel manipulation.

The ergonomic design of the Harken #2 Clamp 10mm Shaft Cardiovascular Clamp allows smooth operation and enhanced surgeon comfort. The shaft configuration provides excellent reach and visibility, while the precise mechanism enables controlled opening and closing of the jaws. This supports accurate placement and dependable performance during technically demanding procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this VATS cardiovascular clamp offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The precision-machined components ensure smooth mechanical function, accurate jaw alignment, and consistent performance throughout repeated surgical use. The satin finish reduces glare and supports efficient cleaning and sterilization.

The clamp is commonly used in minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, VATS procedures, vascular manipulation, vessel occlusion, tissue grasping, and reconstructive procedures. Its combination of extended shaft reach and atraumatic DeBakey jaws makes it suitable for surgeons requiring precise control within limited operative spaces.

The VATS Harken #2 Clamp 10mm Shaft, 95mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws Cardiovascular Clamp is designed for professional surgical environments and supports standard sterilization protocols, including steam autoclaving. The durable stainless steel construction maintains instrument integrity, jaw precision, and mechanical performance through repeated sterilization cycles.

Combining minimally invasive design, DeBakey atraumatic technology, and reliable Harken engineering, this cardiovascular clamp provides surgeons with the accuracy and control required for advanced thoracic and cardiovascular procedures. Its specialized construction makes it an important addition to modern minimally invasive surgical instrument sets.
