7 3/4″ Debakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 3.5cm Long, 1.1cm Deep Jaws

The 7 3/4″ DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp 3.5cm Long, 1.1cm Deep Jaws is a specialized cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument designed to provide controlled tangential occlusion, positioning, isolation, and manipulation of appropriately sized vascular structures. Measuring 7.75 inches overall, this clamp combines an extended working length with precisely specified jaw dimensions for selected vascular procedures. The DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp is designed for applications where controlled partial or tangential management of a vessel is required. Unlike instruments intended solely for complete transverse occlusion, a tangential occlusion clamp is configured to engage a selected portion of a vascular structure while maintaining access to the remaining vessel pathway. The exact clinical application should always be determined by a qualified cardiovascular or vascular surgeon. The 3.5 cm jaw length provides a defined working surface for engaging the intended vascular structure. The 1.1 cm jaw depth specifies the depth of the working profile and helps describe the clamp’s dimensional characteristics. These dimensions should be matched carefully to the target anatomy and verified against the manufacturer’s technical specifications before clinical use. DeBakey-style vascular instruments are commonly associated with controlled handling of vascular tissue. The working jaws are designed to provide secure engagement while supporting careful manipulation. Proper surgical technique and application of only the necessary force are essential when working with delicate blood vessels. At 7 3/4 inches overall length , this clamp provides extended working reach while maintaining practical control. The length can be useful in selected cardiovascular, thoracic, and peripheral vascular operative fields where additional access to the target vessel is required. The DeBakey Tangential Occlusion Clamp may be incorporated into professional cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and reconstructive surgical instrument sets . Potential applications include tangential vessel occlusion, vessel positioning, isolation, manipulation, and selected vascular repair or reconstruction techniques. Proper instrument selection is essential when performing vascular procedures. Vessel diameter, anatomical location, tissue characteristics, operative exposure, and the intended technique should be considered before selecting the clamp. The 3.5 cm by 1.1 cm jaw dimensions should be appropriate for the intended target anatomy. Controlled application is particularly important when handling vascular tissue. The jaws 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. The extended length and defined jaw dimensions provide a useful combination of reach and working control. This can support precise positioning when the operative site is deeper or when additional distance between the surgeon’s hand and the target vessel is desirable. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for professional reusable surgical instrumentation. Precision manufacturing supports proper jaw 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 3.5 cm jaws, 1.1 cm deep working profile, hinge, and adjoining surfaces , where blood and biological residue may accumulate. The clamp should be inspected for wear, deformation, corrosion, 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 handling and storage help preserve the jaw dimensions and mechanical performance.
