11″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 7.5cm Long, 1.7cm Deep

The 11″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 7.5cm Long, 1.7cm Deep is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled tangential occlusion and manipulation of blood vessels during cardiovascular, vascular, and thoracic procedures. Its extended 11-inch length provides deep operative reach, while the 7.5 cm long and 1.7 cm deep jaw profile offers a substantial working surface for appropriate vascular structures. DeBakey-style vascular instruments are designed with precision handling in mind, making them valuable in procedures involving delicate and major blood vessels. A tangential occlusion clamp is used to obtain localized vascular control by engaging a selected portion of a vessel rather than necessarily completely interrupting the entire lumen. Depending on the procedure and surgical technique, this can allow the surgeon to perform vascular repair, reconstruction, or anastomosis while maintaining flow through the remaining portion of the vessel. The 7.5 cm jaw length provides an extended working surface that can accommodate appropriate larger vascular structures. The 1.7 cm jaw depth defines the working profile and supports controlled positioning around the intended vessel. These dimensions make the clamp particularly useful where an extended jaw surface is required for stable and controlled vascular engagement. The 11-inch overall length provides additional reach for deep or anatomically restricted operative fields. This extended shaft can be particularly beneficial in cardiovascular and thoracic procedures where major vessels may be located well below the surface of the surgical approach. The long profile allows the working end to reach the target vessel while maintaining a practical hand position outside the immediate operative field. The DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, cardiothoracic, and thoracic surgical instrument sets. Potential applications include vascular reconstruction, vessel repair, anastomotic procedures, and other interventions requiring controlled tangential occlusion. The appropriate instrument and technique should always be selected by the qualified operating surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy and the specific clinical requirements. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for professional surgical use. Precision manufacturing helps maintain jaw alignment and dependable mechanical function. A smooth, polished finish also facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. Proper care is essential for preserving instrument performance and service life. Following use, reusable instruments should be cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility protocols. The jaws, hinge, working surfaces, and shaft should be inspected for biological residue, corrosion, wear, deformation, or misalignment. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. When controlled tangential vascular occlusion is required, the 11″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 7.5cm Long, 1.7cm Deep provides a combination of extended reach and a substantial working profile. Its specialized vascular design and durable stainless-steel construction make it a practical addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument collections.
