6 1/2″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp 30° Angled

The 6 1/2″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp 30° Angled is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled vessel manipulation, positioning, isolation, and temporary occlusion during selected surgical procedures. With an overall length of 6.5 inches and a 30° angled working configuration , this clamp provides a practical combination of reach, maneuverability, and angled access. The DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp is designed for versatile vascular applications where controlled vessel handling is required. Its multi-purpose configuration allows it to be incorporated into a range of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular procedures involving vessel positioning, temporary occlusion, isolation, repair, reconstruction, and manipulation. The exact indication and method of use should always be determined by a qualified cardiovascular or vascular surgeon. The 30° angled design offsets the working end from the main axis of the instrument. This geometry can help the surgical team approach vascular structures from an angle that may be more convenient for the operative field. Angled vascular clamps can be particularly useful when direct alignment between the handle and target vessel is restricted by surrounding anatomy or other surgical structures. At 6.5 inches overall length , the instrument provides useful working reach while maintaining practical control. Its length can be suitable for selected cardiovascular and vascular operative fields where access to the target anatomy requires moderate reach and precise instrument positioning. The DeBakey-style working configuration is intended to provide controlled contact with vascular structures. Proper selection of the clamp should take into account vessel size, anatomical location, tissue characteristics, and the specific requirements of the surgical procedure. The 30° angle should be considered when planning the instrument approach to the target vessel. This multi-purpose clamp may be incorporated into cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, thoracic, and reconstructive surgical instrument sets . Depending on the procedure, it may assist with temporary vascular occlusion, vessel isolation, positioning, manipulation, repair, and reconstruction. Controlled application is essential when working with vascular tissue. The working end should be positioned accurately 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 consistent alignment and reliable mechanical performance. A smooth 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 angled working end, jaws, hinge, and adjoining surfaces , where blood and biological residue may accumulate. The instrument should be inspected for corrosion, wear, deformation, surface damage, and proper 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 30° angled geometry and overall mechanical performance.
