DeBakey Atrauma Cardiovascular Anastomosis Clamp

Description

DeBakey Atrauma Cardiovascular Anastomosis Clamp

The DeBakey anastomosis clamp holds vessel edges quietly in place while a surgeon sews them together. You can order it in either 17 or 18 cm.

17 or 18 cm

The two lengths differ by just one centimeter. However, that small step can matter a great deal at the bottom of a deep field. So choose the size that matches your most frequent approach.

Built for vessel joins

During an anastomosis, this clamp halts flow on either side of the suture site. As a result, the surgeon sees each needle bite clearly. Its jaws hold without crushing, which protects the fresh suture line.

A familiar name

DeBakey-pattern clamps have long served as a reference point for gentle vascular occlusion. Plus, most cardiac surgeons already know how they handle. That familiarity helps new team members settle in quickly.

Pairing the two lengths

Some teams keep one of each size on the same tray. In that case, the longer DeBakey anastomosis clamp handles the deeper vessel and the shorter one the nearer. It also lets two clamps rest side by side without crossing.

Reprocessing DeBakey anastomosis clamp

Start by rinsing the jaws while any blood is still wet. Next, set the clamp open in an ultrasonic bath so the solution reaches both gripping surfaces. Then dry it, sight down the jaws for alignment, and store it in a padded rack.
