9″ Debakey Multi-Purpose Clamp Jaws Angled 25°

The 9″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp Jaws Angled 25° is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled clamping, temporary occlusion, manipulation, and positioning of blood vessels during appropriately indicated cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Its combination of a 9-inch overall length and 25° angled jaws provides a practical balance of surgical reach, controlled handling, and angled access to vascular structures. The defining feature of this DeBakey multi-purpose clamp is its 25° angled jaw configuration . Angled jaws allow the working end to approach a vessel from an oblique direction rather than requiring a direct, straight-line approach. This can be particularly useful when surrounding anatomy, retractors, grafts, or other instruments make direct access difficult. The angled profile may help the surgeon maintain a practical handle position while directing the working end toward the intended vessel. The 9-inch overall length provides useful working reach for a variety of operative fields. The extended shaft can assist when the target vascular structure is positioned deeper within the surgical site. It allows the surgeon to maintain a controlled hand position away from the immediate operative area while preserving useful maneuverability. DeBakey-style vascular clamps are commonly selected for specialized handling of blood vessels. Depending on the specific working-end design and procedure, this multi-purpose clamp may support temporary vascular occlusion, vessel manipulation, positioning, or controlled exposure . The exact clinical application should always be determined by the operating surgeon based on patient anatomy, procedural requirements, and institutional protocols. The 25° angled configuration can provide useful clearance around adjacent anatomical structures. This may be advantageous in complex cardiovascular and vascular operative fields where several instruments must be positioned simultaneously. The angled jaws can facilitate a more suitable approach to the vessel while helping reduce interference between the clamp shaft and surrounding structures. Smooth mechanical operation and accurate jaw alignment are important for reliable vascular instrumentation. The jaws should open and close predictably and maintain appropriate alignment during use. The clamp should be operated carefully and should not be forcibly bent, twisted, or used for applications outside its intended 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 specified 25° jaw orientation and mechanical function through repeated clinical use. Proper handling is important to prevent deformation of the angled working end. After use, the 9″ 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 other 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 opening and closing, corrosion, surface damage, and integrity of the 25° 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″ DeBakey Multi-Purpose Clamp Jaws Angled 25° combines practical reach with a specialized angled jaw configuration for controlled vascular handling. It is a valuable addition to professional DeBakey vascular clamps, angled vascular clamps, cardiovascular surgical instruments, vascular surgery clamps, and thoracic surgical instrument sets .
