DeBakey Atrauma Cardiovascular Dissecting And Ligature Forceps

DeBakey ligature forceps help surgeons dissect around vessels and then pass ligatures behind them. They come in 19 and 23 cm lengths.

Two lengths

The 19 cm size suits work at moderate depth. Meanwhile, the 23 cm version reaches into deeper thoracic fields. So you can choose by approach and by patient size.

A dissecting role

The tips work gently through tissue to free a vessel from its bed. As a result, the surgeon gains space to pass a tie. Atraumatic tips lower the risk of injuring the wall.

Carrying a ligature

With the vessel free, the forceps grasp a tie and draw it through. Then the surgeon can ligate the vessel or loop it for retraction. That sequence comes up often in cardiac and thoracic surgery.

Working alongside clamps

The forceps usually prepare a vessel before any clamp touches it. In that case, DeBakey ligature forceps open a clean plane for occlusion. Also, surgeons use them to tie off small branches.

Reprocessing DeBakey ligature forceps

Soak the tips in water or enzyme solution if tissue has dried on them. Next, scrub them with a small brush and check them with a magnifier. When dry, place them in the set with the tips facing away from heavier tools.
