Debakey Hemostatic Forceps Curved 8.5 cm (3.3)

Controlled Reach for Aortic and Deep-Tissue Clamping

The DeBakey aortic aneurysm clamp is a curved surgical clamp designed for controlled handling during cardiovascular and general surgery procedures involving vessel or tissue exposure. Its 10 1/2-inch overall length supports reach into deeper operative fields, while the 8.5 cm length provides a defined working profile for positioning. The atraumatic 1x2 teeth jaws and ring handle, as identified in the product name, support deliberate placement and secure instrument handling. The curved configuration can help align the clamp with the operative approach while maintaining practical visibility and access during focused surgical tasks.

Use Cases

• Apply and manage controlled clamping during cardiovascular procedures involving aortic or other major-vessel exposure.
• Support general surgery workflows requiring a long, curved clamp for access to deeper operative fields.
• Use the ring handle for deliberate opening, positioning, and release during clamp placement.
• Position the atraumatic 1x2 teeth jaws where controlled tissue or vessel engagement is required, following the operative technique and facility protocol.
