9 1/4″ Debakey Multi Purpose Clamp Ang 60°

The 9 1/4″ Debakey Multi Purpose Clamp Ang 60° is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled clamping, temporary occlusion, manipulation, and positioning of vascular structures during appropriately indicated cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Its combination of a 9 1/4-inch overall length and 60° angled working configuration provides surgeons with extended reach and a specialized approach to vessels within challenging operative fields. The 60° angled design is a key feature of this DeBakey multi-purpose clamp. The angled working end allows the instrument to approach a vessel from an oblique direction rather than directly along the shaft. This configuration can be useful when surrounding anatomical structures restrict a straight approach or when the surgeon needs to maintain the handles in a practical position while directing the working end toward the intended vessel. With an overall length of 9 1/4 inches , this vascular clamp provides useful working reach without becoming excessively long for routine instrument handling. The extended shaft can be particularly beneficial when the target vascular structure is positioned deeper within the operative field. It provides separation between the surgeon’s hand and the working site while maintaining controlled maneuverability. DeBakey-style vascular clamps are designed for specialized handling of blood vessels. Depending on the exact jaw configuration and procedural requirements, a multi-purpose clamp may assist with temporary vascular occlusion, vessel manipulation, positioning, or controlled exposure . The instrument may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, and thoracic surgical instrument sets where angled vascular access is required. The 60° configuration can provide useful clearance around adjacent anatomy and other surgical instruments. This can be advantageous in complex operative fields where multiple instruments must be coordinated around major vessels. The angled working end may help optimize the surgeon’s approach to the vessel while reducing the need for awkward positioning of the instrument shaft. A vascular clamp should provide controlled mechanical movement and appropriate jaw alignment throughout its operating range. Smooth opening and closing are important for predictable placement and release. The instrument should be handled carefully and should not be forcibly bent, twisted, or used outside its intended surgical purpose. Professional reusable vascular clamps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , selected for mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance when properly maintained. Precision construction helps preserve the intended 60° geometry and mechanical function through repeated clinical use. Proper maintenance is essential to protect the working end from deformation or damage. After use, the 9 1/4″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-reprocessing protocol. Blood and tissue residue should be thoroughly removed from the jaws, hinge, and accessible surfaces. The clamp should then be rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process compatible with the instrument. Before reuse, trained personnel should inspect the instrument for jaw alignment, smooth mechanical movement, corrosion, surface damage, and integrity of the angled working end . Any clamp showing deformation, abnormal movement, or excessive wear should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures. The 9 1/4″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp Ang 60° combines extended surgical reach with a specialized 60° angled configuration. It is a practical addition to professional DeBakey vascular clamps, angled vascular clamps, cardiovascular surgical instruments, vascular surgery clamps, and thoracic instrument sets requiring controlled vessel handling.
