DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm 45° Jaws, Curved Handle

The DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm 45° Jaws, Curved Handle is a precision vascular surgical instrument designed for the controlled handling and temporary occlusion of delicate blood vessels. It is suitable for cardiovascular and vascular surgical procedures where accurate placement, careful manipulation, and dependable vessel control are essential. Featuring a fine 1.4mm jaw configuration , this surgical clamp is designed for applications involving small and delicate vascular structures. The narrow working profile supports precise positioning within the operative field and allows surgeons to work with greater control around sensitive anatomical areas. Accurate instrument handling is particularly important during procedures involving vessel repair, reconstruction, and anastomosis. The specialized 45° angled jaws provide an effective approach to vascular structures that may be difficult to access with a straight surgical clamp. This angled configuration helps support instrument positioning from a convenient working angle while allowing surgeons to maintain visibility around the surgical site. The 45-degree jaw profile can be particularly useful when surrounding tissue or anatomical structures create limitations within the operative field. The curved handle complements the angled jaw design by providing an additional level of control during surgical manipulation. Its configuration supports precise positioning and handling while helping the surgeon approach the operative area from a suitable angle. Together, the 45° jaws and curved handle create a specialized design intended for demanding vascular and cardiovascular procedures. The DeBakey Castaneda Clamp pattern is widely recognized as a specialized instrument design for professional vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Temporary vascular occlusion is often required during appropriate surgical procedures to assist with controlled blood flow management while vessel repair or reconstruction is performed. The exact clinical application should always be determined by the qualified surgical professional based on the procedure and patient requirements. Manufactured from high-quality surgical stainless steel, the instrument is designed for professional durability and repeated use. Surgical stainless steel provides strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for reusable surgical instruments exposed to regular cleaning and sterilization cycles. The durable construction helps maintain the instrument’s working condition when appropriate care and maintenance procedures are followed. The precision design of the clamp supports controlled operation and dependable handling during specialized procedures. The fine jaw profile is intended to assist with accurate engagement of vascular structures, while the handle configuration provides stability during placement and removal. This makes the instrument a valuable component of cardiovascular surgery sets and vascular instrument collections. Proper cleaning and sterilization are essential for maintaining reusable surgical instruments. After use, the clamp should be thoroughly cleaned to remove blood, tissue residue, and other contaminants. It should then be processed according to the approved sterilization procedures and protocols established by the relevant healthcare facility. Regular inspection of the jaws, alignment, working surfaces, and overall condition is also recommended before use. The DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm 45° Jaws, Curved Handle combines precise jaw dimensions, specialized angled access, and durable surgical construction. It is a practical choice for professional cardiovascular and vascular instrument sets requiring accurate temporary vessel control and careful handling of delicate vascular structures.
