3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10 mm Shaft, 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws

The 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp 10 mm Shaft, 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws is a specialized surgical instrument designed for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) and other minimally invasive thoracic procedures requiring controlled tissue handling. Its 10 mm shaft provides access through compatible thoracoscopic ports, while the compact 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration supports precise manipulation within the operative field. The 10 mm shaft diameter provides a defined minimally invasive profile for use with appropriately sized thoracoscopic access systems. The shaft allows the working end to reach the surgical site while the surgeon maintains the handle outside the body. Proper compatibility between the shaft diameter and access port is essential for safe and effective instrument selection in VATS procedures. This clamp features 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 jaws , providing a specialized working configuration for controlled tissue engagement. The 65 mm specification identifies the supplied jaw or working dimension, while the 1×2 DeBakey tooth pattern provides defined points of contact with suitable tissues. DeBakey-style gripping surfaces are commonly used where controlled tissue manipulation is required. The relatively compact 65 mm working configuration can provide useful maneuverability in confined thoracoscopic spaces. Minimally invasive procedures often require instruments that can be positioned accurately around anatomical structures without unnecessary bulk. The combination of a 10 mm shaft and specialized DeBakey 1×2 jaws provides a practical configuration for controlled manipulation through an appropriate thoracoscopic access pathway. The 3/4″ specification is retained as part of the supplied product identification. It should be considered together with the 10 mm shaft and 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration when selecting and organizing surgical instruments. Accurate dimensional specifications are particularly important for minimally invasive surgical systems because the instrument must correspond appropriately with the access equipment and operative requirements. The VATS DeBakey Clamp may be incorporated into VATS surgical instrument sets, thoracoscopic surgery trays, minimally invasive thoracic instrument collections, pulmonary surgery sets, and cardiothoracic surgical systems . It is intended for controlled manipulation of appropriate tissues, with the exact application determined by the operating surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy, procedure, and established surgical technique. The DeBakey 1×2 jaw pattern is designed to provide controlled engagement with suitable tissue. As with other toothed surgical instruments, careful positioning and appropriate pressure are important. Excessive force should be avoided, particularly when handling delicate anatomical structures. The clamp should only be used for applications compatible with its design and intended clinical purpose. The compact working configuration can support controlled movements within the thoracic operative field. In VATS procedures, the surgeon must coordinate movements at the handle with the working end located inside the body. A properly configured minimally invasive clamp can support this process by providing an appropriate shaft diameter and controlled jaw mechanism. For reusable instrument configurations, the VATS DeBakey Clamp should be cleaned and decontaminated promptly after every procedure. Particular attention should be given to the narrow shaft, jaw surfaces, tooth pattern, and moving mechanism. After cleaning, the instrument should be inspected for jaw alignment, tooth integrity, shaft condition, and smooth mechanical operation. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols. Proper cleaning, inspection, sterilization, handling, and storage help preserve the instrument’s mechanical performance and support reliable use in subsequent procedures. For hospitals, thoracic surgeons, minimally invasive surgery centers, operating-room professionals, and medical instrument suppliers, the 3/4″ VATS DeBakey Clamp with 10 mm Shaft, 65 mm DeBakey 1×2 Jaws offers a specialized solution for controlled thoracoscopic tissue handling. Its narrow shaft and compact DeBakey 1×2 jaw configuration make it a practical addition to professional VATS instrument inventories.
