Hospital & Volume Procurement Pricing
The 4¾″ DeBakey Ring Handle Bulldog Clamp is a specialized surgical instrument featuring ring-style handles and a jaw curved at 45 degrees. Its compact 4¾-inch length provides a smaller instrument profile, while the curved jaw offers an angled approach to the target area. The ring handles provide a familiar gripping configuration for trained surgical professionals.
45° Curved Jaw Design
The 45° curved jaw distinguishes this model from bulldog clamps with straight or differently angled jaws. The curvature may help position the working end around a target structure when a straight approach is unsuitable. The exact jaw profile, contact surface, and clamping characteristics should be verified with the manufacturer before selecting the instrument for a particular procedure.
DeBakey Pattern and Ring Handles
The DeBakey pattern identifies the instrument's design style. Ring handles provide a grip point for controlled positioning and manipulation. However, the product title does not specify whether the clamp includes a spring mechanism, locking feature, or a particular pressure rating. These details should be confirmed through the supplier's technical documentation.
Applications in Vascular Surgery
Bulldog clamps are commonly associated with temporary vessel occlusion during selected vascular procedures. The appropriate model depends on vessel characteristics, the intended clamping function, jaw geometry, and the manufacturer's documented indications. The name “DeBakey” alone does not establish the precise clinical suitability or pressure characteristics of this particular product.
Instrument Care and Maintenance
Before use, verify the clamp's material, jaw dimensions, mechanism, and compatibility with the facility's approved reprocessing procedures. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, sterilization, inspection, and storage. Check jaw alignment and closing function before use, and remove any instrument that is damaged or fails inspection.
