Lees Bronchus Clamp Angled 223mm DeBakey Type Effective Jaw Surgical Clamp

The Lees Bronchus Clamp Angled 223mm DeBakey Type Effective Jaw Surgical Clamp is a specialized thoracic surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, positioning, and clamping of bronchial and related pulmonary structures. Its angled configuration provides a practical approach to anatomically restricted operative fields, while the DeBakey-type jaw design supports secure engagement of appropriate soft tissue. With an overall length of approximately 223mm , this bronchus clamp offers useful reach for procedures involving deeper structures within the thoracic cavity. The extended length allows the working jaws to reach the target anatomy while keeping the handles accessible to the surgical team. This combination of reach and controlled handling is particularly useful during thoracic and cardiothoracic procedures where operative exposure may be limited. The angled profile is a defining feature of this Lees Bronchus Clamp. An angled working end can facilitate positioning around anatomical structures that are difficult to approach directly. By changing the relationship between the handles and jaws, the design can allow the surgeon to maintain a more practical hand position while directing the working end toward the bronchus or adjacent tissue. The instrument incorporates a DeBakey-type jaw pattern , designed to provide controlled tissue purchase. DeBakey-style jaws are widely used in surgical instruments intended for delicate tissue manipulation because their specialized profile is designed to engage tissue while reducing unnecessary crushing compared with more aggressive toothed patterns. Appropriate pressure and technique remain essential, particularly when working with sensitive bronchial and pulmonary tissues. The Lees Bronchus Clamp may be incorporated into thoracic, pulmonary, and cardiothoracic surgical instrument sets . Potential applications include selected procedures involving bronchial manipulation, pulmonary surgery, tissue positioning, operative exposure, and temporary control of appropriate structures. The specific clinical use should always be determined by the operating surgeon according to the procedure, patient anatomy, and manufacturer’s intended application. The effective jaw provides the functional working surface responsible for tissue engagement. Accurate jaw alignment is important for dependable instrument performance. The clamp should be applied with controlled force and positioned appropriately to avoid unnecessary compression or injury to surrounding anatomical structures. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing the strength and durability required for repeated professional surgical use. Stainless steel construction also provides corrosion resistance when the instrument is properly cleaned, dried, maintained, and sterilized. Precision manufacturing helps support reliable jaw alignment and smooth operation of the clamp mechanism. The ring-style handles allow controlled opening and closing of the jaws. A locking mechanism can help maintain the selected position during appropriate procedures, reducing the need for continuous manual pressure. The operator should always confirm that the clamp is correctly positioned and functioning properly before clinical use. As a reusable thoracic surgical instrument, the clamp requires careful reprocessing after each procedure. It should be cleaned promptly after use to prevent blood, tissue, and other biological material from drying on the instrument. Particular attention should be given to the DeBakey-type jaws, hinge, and locking mechanism , where debris can accumulate. After cleaning, the clamp should be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process compatible with the instrument. Routine maintenance should include checking the jaws for alignment, examining the DeBakey-type surface for damage, and confirming smooth operation of the hinge and locking mechanism. Any clamp showing deformation, corrosion, excessive wear, or mechanical defects should be removed from service and evaluated by qualified surgical instrument maintenance personnel. Overall, the Lees Bronchus Clamp Angled 223mm DeBakey Type provides controlled bronchial and pulmonary tissue handling with useful operative reach and angled access. Its specialized design, precision jaw configuration, durable stainless steel construction, and controlled locking action make it a practical addition to professional thoracic and cardiothoracic surgical instrument sets.
