DeBakey Aneurysm Clamp Deep Curve 245mm Jaw Type DeBakey 1 x 2 Teeth

The DeBakey Aneurysm Clamp Deep Curve 245mm Jaw Type DeBakey 1 x 2 Teeth is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, temporary occlusion, and positioning of appropriate large vascular structures. Its deep curved profile provides an extended working angle for accessing vessels within deeper or anatomically restricted operative fields, while the 1 x 2 DeBakey tooth configuration provides a specialized gripping surface for controlled vascular engagement. Aneurysm and major vascular procedures often require instruments capable of reaching structures that are located deep within the operative field. The 245mm overall length provides useful reach while maintaining practical manual control. This extended profile can help the surgeon position the working jaws around a target vessel without placing the handles directly within the deepest portion of the surgical field. The deep curve is a defining feature of this aneurysm clamp. Its pronounced curvature allows the working end to approach vascular structures from an offset angle and can facilitate access around adjacent anatomical structures. This configuration may be particularly useful when a conventional straight clamp cannot provide the required approach or visualization. The working jaws feature a DeBakey 1 x 2 tooth pattern , consisting of one tooth on one jaw and two corresponding teeth on the opposing jaw. This specialized configuration provides an interlocking contact pattern designed for controlled engagement of appropriate vascular tissue. Because toothed vascular jaws require careful positioning, the clamp should be applied with controlled force and only to structures appropriate for its intended use. The DeBakey Aneurysm Clamp may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and cardiothoracic surgical instrument sets . Appropriate applications can include selected aneurysm procedures, vascular reconstruction, temporary vessel occlusion, vessel preparation, graft-related procedures, and other operations requiring controlled manipulation of suitable large vessels. The exact application should be determined by the operating surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy and the specific surgical technique. The 245mm length provides a useful combination of reach and maneuverability. It can help the surgeon access deeper vascular structures while maintaining the handles in a more accessible position. The deep curve further supports instrument positioning when the vessel is surrounded by other anatomical structures. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing the strength, durability, and corrosion resistance required for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing helps maintain the shape of the deep curve, jaw alignment, and mechanical function through repeated use when appropriate care is followed. Ring-style handles provide controlled manual operation, while the locking mechanism can help maintain the selected jaw position during appropriate procedures. Before use, the instrument should be inspected carefully to ensure that the 1 x 2 DeBakey teeth are intact, correctly aligned, and free from deformation. Because the jaw has a toothed configuration, excessive force should be avoided. Appropriate positioning is essential when handling vascular tissue. The surgeon should select the clamp according to the vessel size, location, tissue characteristics, and procedural requirements. After use, the clamp should be cleaned promptly to prevent blood and biological material from drying on the working surfaces. Particular attention should be given to the deep curved jaw, DeBakey teeth, hinge, and locking mechanism . The instrument should be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process suitable for reusable surgical instruments. Routine inspection should include checking the teeth for wear, deformation, or damage and verifying that the deep curve remains correctly formed. The hinge and locking mechanism should operate smoothly without excessive looseness or resistance. Damaged instruments should be removed from service and evaluated by qualified surgical instrument maintenance personnel. Overall, the DeBakey Aneurysm Clamp Deep Curve 245mm provides extended reach, a specialized deep curved profile, and a 1 x 2 DeBakey toothed jaw for controlled vascular handling. Its precision design and durable stainless steel construction make it a valuable addition to professional cardiovascular and thoracic surgical instrument sets.
