3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10 mm Shaft, 110 mm Tapered DeBakey 1×2 Jaws

The 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10 mm Shaft, 110 mm Tapered DeBakey 1×2 Jaws is a specialized thoracoscopic surgical instrument designed for controlled tissue handling during Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) and other minimally invasive thoracic procedures. Its 10 mm shaft provides a narrow working profile for compatible access systems, while the 110 mm tapered DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration supports precise engagement and manipulation of suitable tissues within the operative field. The 10 mm shaft is designed to pass through appropriately sized thoracoscopic access ports, allowing the surgeon to reach the operative site while maintaining the handle outside the body. This configuration is particularly useful in minimally invasive thoracic procedures, where instrument diameter must correspond accurately with the selected access system. The shaft provides a practical balance between access and mechanical control during surgical manipulation. The instrument features 110 mm tapered DeBakey 1×2 jaws , providing a specialized working profile for controlled tissue engagement. The tapered design creates a refined working end that can facilitate positioning within restricted thoracoscopic spaces. DeBakey-style jaws are commonly used when controlled tissue handling is required, while the 1×2 tooth arrangement provides defined engagement with suitable tissues. The 3/4″ specification forms part of the supplied product identification and helps distinguish this configuration from other VATS DeBakey clamp variants. When selecting minimally invasive surgical instruments, dimensional specifications should be considered together with the shaft diameter, jaw configuration, working length, and intended access system to ensure appropriate compatibility. The VATS DeBakey Clamp may be included in thoracoscopic instrument sets, VATS surgery trays, minimally invasive thoracic surgery sets, pulmonary surgery instrument collections, and cardiothoracic surgical systems . Its exact application should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy, procedure requirements, and established surgical technique. The tapered DeBakey 1×2 jaws are designed to provide controlled contact with appropriate tissue. Because toothed jaws can exert localized pressure, careful positioning and appropriate force are essential during use. The instrument should only be applied to tissues and structures for which the jaw configuration is clinically appropriate. Proper technique helps support controlled manipulation while reducing the risk of unnecessary tissue trauma. The long shaft and specialized jaw profile provide useful working reach within the thoracic cavity while allowing the surgeon to operate from outside the body. This is an important characteristic of VATS instruments, where the surgeon must coordinate handle movement with the working end through a relatively narrow access pathway. The instrument’s dimensions support the precise manipulation expected in minimally invasive thoracic surgery. For reusable instrument configurations, appropriate cleaning and processing are essential. After use, the VATS DeBakey Clamp should be cleaned promptly and thoroughly according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing protocol. Special attention should be given to the tapered jaws, DeBakey tooth pattern, shaft, and moving components because biological material can remain in narrow or mechanically complex areas. After cleaning, the instrument should be inspected for jaw alignment, tooth integrity, shaft condition, and smooth operation. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions and institutional procedures. Proper inspection, sterilization, handling, and storage help maintain the instrument’s mechanical function and service life. For hospitals, thoracic surgeons, minimally invasive surgery centers, operating-room professionals, and medical instrument suppliers, the 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10 mm Shaft, 110 mm Tapered DeBakey 1×2 Jaws provides a specialized solution for controlled tissue handling. Its narrow shaft, tapered working profile, and DeBakey 1×2 jaw design make it a practical addition to professional VATS and thoracoscopic surgical instrument inventories.
