Design & Function
The VATS Debakey Clamp features a tapered working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during vessel occlusion. The tapered jaw design can assist in positioning the working end according to the requirements of the operative field.
The 10 mm shaft provides a defined clamping profile, while the 14 3/4-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for cardiovascular procedures requiring a tapered instrument type.
Surgical Applications
The 14 3/4″ VATS Debakey Clamp may be used for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery applications involving vessel occlusion. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.
Handling & Instrument Care
Inspect the VATS Debakey Clamp before use, paying particular attention to the working end, jaw alignment, and cutting edges. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.
After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the VATS Debakey Clamp appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
