Controlled Reach for Vascular and General Surgical Handling
The 14 1/4" VATS Debakey Clamp is a long-reach surgical clamp designed for controlled grasping and handling in cardiovascular and general surgery settings. Its Debakey-style 2×3 jaw pattern supports deliberate contact with tissue or vessels, while the extended form helps place the working end deeper within the operative field without unnecessarily crowding the handle near the site. The 10mm jaw size provides a defined working profile for routine clamping tasks, and the 14 1/4" overall length supports access where additional reach is useful. This specialty-neutral design fits workflows that value measured handling, visibility, and instrument control.
Use Cases
- Position and hold tissue or vessels during cardiovascular surgical exposure and handling.
- Support controlled clamping tasks in general surgery where an extended instrument profile is useful.
- Use the Debakey 2×3 jaw configuration for deliberate contact during grasping and stabilization.
- Apply the clamp when added reach can help keep the handle clear of the operative field.

Care & Reprocessing
- Clean and reprocess the clamp according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
- Inspect the Debakey jaws, shaft, and working surfaces for visible soil, damage, misalignment, or impaired movement before use.
- Handle the jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve their working alignment.
- Store the instrument in a clean, protected location where the jaws and shaft will not be struck or compressed.
