Controlled Vascular Clamping With Extended Reach
The Collier-Anderson-DeBakey artery clamp forceps is a 10-inch clamping instrument intended for controlled handling of arteries and related vascular structures during operative work. Its curved profile supports access around the operative field, while the longitudinally serrated jaws provide the named gripping surface for clamp-related tasks. A ring handle supports familiar instrument handling and finger control. Suitable for both cardiovascular and general surgery settings, this forceps offers extended reach in a format designed for deliberate placement and removal. The 1.4 mm jaw size identifies its working end, helping teams select the instrument according to procedural access and tissue-handling requirements.
Use Cases
- Apply controlled clamping during cardiovascular procedures involving arteries and related vascular structures.
- Support vascular clamping tasks in general surgery workflows.
- Use the curved profile to approach structures around the operative field.
- Employ the ring handle for familiar opening, closing, and repositioning during clamp-related tasks.
- Use the longitudinally serrated jaws when the named clamp design is appropriate for the procedure.
