6 1/2″ DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp Small Jaw

The 6 1/2″ DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp Small 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 small jaw configuration, this clamp provides a focused working profile for precise handling of appropriately sized vascular structures. 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, isolation, 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 provides a specialized working profile associated with vascular surgical instrumentation. The small-jaw design is particularly useful when a more localized working surface is required. It allows the surgical team to select a clamp configuration appropriate to the size and location of the target vessel. At 6.5 inches overall length , the instrument provides useful working reach while maintaining practical maneuverability. This length can be beneficial when accessing vascular structures within restricted operative fields while retaining controlled hand positioning. The small jaw provides a focused contact area for appropriately sized vascular structures. A smaller working surface may be advantageous when the operative field is confined or when more localized vessel engagement is required. The exact jaw dimensions should be verified against the manufacturer’s technical specifications before use. The DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp may be incorporated into selected cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and reconstructive surgical procedures . Depending on the procedure, applications may include vessel isolation, temporary occlusion, positioning, manipulation, vascular repair, reconstruction, and anastomosis. Instrument selection should always be based on vessel dimensions, anatomy, surgical exposure, and the requirements of the procedure. Controlled application is essential when working with vascular tissue. The small 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 small 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 maintain the small-jaw geometry and overall mechanical performance. The 6 1/2″ DeBakey Derra Anastomosis Clamp Small Jaw combines a 6.5-inch overall length with a focused small-jaw configuration for controlled vascular handling. Its specialized design, practical reach, and durable construction make it a useful addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.
