1 4/10″ DeBakey Castaneda Clamp 1.4mm Straight

The 1 4/10″ DeBakey Castaneda Clamp is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled handling and clamping of appropriately sized vascular structures. Its 1.4 mm straight jaws provide a distinct working orientation that can assist with positioning the working end within the operative field.

With an overall length of 1 4/10 inches and a 1.4 mm jaw dimension, this Clamp provides a defined clamping profile for vascular applications. The straight design allows the working end to approach vascular structures from a specialized angle, supporting controlled manual manipulation during procedures.
