10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep

The 10″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 5.5cm Long, 1.5cm Deep is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled tangential occlusion and manipulation of blood vessels during cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Its extended 10-inch length provides useful reach into deeper operative fields, while the 5.5 cm long and 1.5 cm deep working profile provides a defined area for controlled vascular engagement. DeBakey-style vascular instruments are widely used in cardiovascular and vascular surgery where precision handling of delicate anatomical structures is essential. A tangential occlusion clamp is designed to engage a portion of a vessel rather than necessarily completely interrupting the entire vessel lumen. This can allow the surgeon to obtain localized vascular control while working on a selected section of the vessel, depending on the surgical technique and clinical requirements. The 5.5 cm jaw length provides an extended working surface for appropriate vascular structures. The 1.5 cm jaw depth defines the working profile and can assist with controlled positioning around the intended vessel. These dimensions make the instrument suitable for procedures where accurate placement and stable vascular control are important. With an overall length of 10 inches , the clamp provides a balance between extended access and manageable handling. Its length can be particularly beneficial during procedures involving deeper anatomical structures, allowing the working end to reach the operative site while keeping the surgeon’s hand farther from the immediate field. This design is valuable in cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular surgical environments. The DeBakey tangential occlusion clamp is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , offering strength, corrosion resistance, and durability for professional surgical use. Precision manufacturing helps maintain accurate jaw alignment and smooth mechanical operation. The instrument’s finished surfaces also facilitate routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. This clamp may be incorporated into cardiovascular surgery sets, vascular instrument trays, thoracic surgery sets, and specialized vessel occlusion systems . Potential applications include vascular reconstruction, vessel repair, anastomotic procedures, and other surgical interventions requiring controlled tangential occlusion. Specific use should be determined by the qualified operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and procedural requirements. Proper handling is important when working with vascular structures. The clamp should be applied using appropriate surgical technique and only with the degree of pressure necessary for the intended purpose. Careful instrument selection and controlled placement help support safe and predictable surgical manipulation. For reusable models, proper cleaning and sterilization are essential for maintaining instrument performance. After use, the clamp should be cleaned and decontaminated according to institutional procedures. The jaws, hinge, and working surfaces should be inspected for biological residue, corrosion, wear, damage, or misalignment. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and healthcare facility protocols. Combining 10-inch extended reach with a 5.5 cm long and 1.5 cm deep working profile , the DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp provides a specialized solution for vascular procedures requiring controlled tangential vessel occlusion. Its durable construction and precision-oriented design make it a valuable addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.
