6″ DeBakey Multi Purpose Clamp 60° Angled

The 6″ DeBakey Multi Purpose Clamp 60° Angled is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled handling, positioning, isolation, and temporary occlusion of appropriately sized blood vessels. With an overall length of 6 inches and a 60° angled working configuration , this clamp provides a practical combination of reach, maneuverability, and offset access for selected vascular procedures. The DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp is intended for versatile vascular applications where controlled vessel management is required. Depending on the specific working-end configuration, it may assist with vessel positioning, isolation, temporary occlusion, manipulation, vascular repair, and reconstruction. The exact clinical application should be determined by a qualified cardiovascular or vascular surgeon according to the operative requirements. The 60° angled configuration creates a pronounced offset between the instrument shaft and working end. This geometry can help the surgeon approach selected vascular structures from a more suitable direction when a straight instrument trajectory is less convenient. The angled profile may be especially useful when surrounding anatomy or limited surgical exposure requires an offset approach. At 6 inches overall length , the instrument provides useful working reach while retaining practical maneuverability. This moderate length can support controlled handling in selected cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and thoracic operative fields without excessive instrument length. The DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp may be incorporated into professional cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and reconstructive surgical instrument sets . Potential applications include temporary vessel occlusion, vessel isolation, positioning, manipulation, and selected vascular repair or reconstruction techniques. Proper instrument selection is essential when handling vascular tissue. Vessel diameter, anatomical location, tissue characteristics, surgical exposure, and the intended surgical technique should be considered before selecting the clamp. Exact jaw dimensions and working-end specifications should be verified against the manufacturer’s technical documentation. Controlled application is important to help minimize potential vascular tissue trauma. 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. The 60° angled profile provides an offset working trajectory that can help maintain hand clearance and facilitate access around selected vascular structures. This specialized geometry may improve positioning in operative fields where a conventional straight clamp would be less convenient. 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 working-end alignment and consistent mechanical performance. A smooth surface finish also 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 clamp 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 handling and storage help preserve the 60° angled configuration and overall mechanical performance. The 6″ DeBakey Multi Purpose Clamp 60° Angled combines a 6-inch overall length with a pronounced 60° angled working profile for controlled vascular handling. Its versatile configuration, practical reach, and durable construction make it a useful addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.
