Debakey Hemostatic Forceps 32.4 cm (12.7)

Controlled Reach for VATS and Open Surgical Handling

The 12 3/4" VATS Debakey Clamp is a surgical clamp designed for controlled grasping and positioning of tissue or operative materials during VATS, cardiovascular, and general surgery workflows. Its 10mm shaft supports access through the intended operative field, while the 65mm Debakey 1×2 jaw configuration provides a defined grasping interface for deliberate handling. The extended 12 3/4" length can help place the hand farther from the working area while maintaining instrument control. This combination supports organized instrument handling where reach, jaw configuration, and precise manipulation are important to the surgical task.

Use Cases

• Use during VATS workflows requiring a Debakey-style clamp with an extended 12 3/4" profile.
• Support cardiovascular procedures that call for controlled handling with a 1×2 Debakey jaw configuration.
• Assist general surgery tasks involving grasping or positioning tissue or operative materials.
• Use the 10mm shaft and 65mm jaw dimension where the named configuration suits the operative approach.

Specifications

Care & Handling
