6 1/2″ DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp Medium Jaw

The 6 1/2″ DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp Medium Jaw is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled vessel manipulation, positioning, isolation, and temporary occlusion during selected vascular procedures. With an overall length of 6.5 inches and a medium jaw configuration, this clamp provides a practical balance between working reach and a focused vascular working surface. The instrument is designed for applications involving vascular anastomosis , where temporary control and stabilization of a vessel may be required to facilitate precise surgical work. Anastomosis clamps can assist with vessel positioning and temporary occlusion during selected vascular repair and reconstruction procedures. The exact clinical indication and method of use should always be determined by a qualified cardiovascular or vascular surgical professional. The DeBakey Derra configuration combines characteristics associated with specialized vascular instrumentation with a working profile intended for controlled vessel handling. The medium-jaw configuration can be useful when the target anatomy requires a working surface that is neither excessively small nor unnecessarily large. At 6.5 inches overall length , the clamp provides useful reach while maintaining practical maneuverability within the operative field. This length can be advantageous when accessing vascular structures positioned within deeper or restricted surgical fields while retaining controlled hand positioning. The medium jaw provides a balanced contact area for appropriately sized vascular structures. Selecting the correct jaw size is important for achieving appropriate instrument-to-vessel compatibility. The target vessel diameter, anatomical location, surgical exposure, and specific procedural requirements should all be considered before use. The DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp may be incorporated into selected cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and reconstructive surgical procedures . Potential applications include vessel isolation, temporary occlusion, positioning, manipulation, vascular repair, reconstruction, and anastomosis. Actual clinical use depends on the specific instrument configuration and surgical technique. Controlled application is essential when working with vascular tissue. The medium jaws should be accurately positioned before application, and only the force necessary for the intended clinical purpose should be used. Excessive compression, twisting, bending, or inappropriate leverage should be avoided to help minimize potential vascular tissue trauma and preserve instrument integrity. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing supports reliable jaw alignment and consistent mechanical performance. A smooth surface finish facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. After use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the medium jaws, hinge, and adjoining working surfaces , where blood and biological residue may accumulate. The clamp should be inspected for corrosion, wear, deformation, surface damage, and proper jaw alignment before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process compatible with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Proper storage and careful handling help preserve the jaw geometry and overall mechanical performance.
