Yes, the Sklar DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp is specialized equipment specifically designed for use in cardiovascular surgery.

It is engineered to provide precise control while minimizing tissue damage during temporary occlusion of peripheral vessels:

• Primary Function: Used as a ratcheted hemostatic forceps to securely clamp and temporarily halt blood flow in larger peripheral vessels.
• Atraumatic Grasping: Features 1 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth on the working surface, ensuring a firm but gentle hold that prevents damage to delicate vessel walls.
• Specialized Curvature: The distinctive Double ‘S’ curved tips provide optimized access and positioning required for complex manipulations in cardiovascular surgical settings.
• Construction: Manufactured from durable surgical grade stainless steel (Sklar Premium grade standards), ensuring reliability and longevity.

Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey clamp is specifically engineered with an atraumatic pattern to minimize tissue damage when occluding blood flow in peripheral vessels.

This benefit is achieved through the working surface style:

• The jaws feature 1 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth.
• This precise design allows for a secure yet gentle grip, ensuring maximum protection for delicate vessel walls during complex cardiovascular procedures.

The specialized Double ‘S’ curvature is a key design feature that ensures optimal positioning and access during complex cardiovascular procedures, specifically for clamping peripheral vessels.

Key advantages of this design include:

• Specific Access: The unique geometry allows surgeons to precisely reach and apply the clamp, even in challenging or restricted anatomical locations.
• Optimal Maneuverability: It provides the controlled positioning necessary for effective, atraumatic occlusion (halting blood flow) without causing damage to the vessel walls.

Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Clamp is manufactured using surgical grade stainless steel, placing it within the Sklar Premium grade category.

This choice of material ensures:

• Exceptional durability and longevity for long-term professional use.
• The instrument is reusable and designed to withstand repeated sterilization and cleaning cycles.

The Sklar DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp is available in two standard lengths, designed to suit different procedural needs:

• 7.25 inches (Part Number: 52-6604)
• 8 inches (Part Number: 52-6605)

No, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp is supplied in a Non-Sterile condition.

Since this is a high-quality, reusable instrument constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, it is intended to be sterilized by the user following standard medical facility protocols before its initial use and all subsequent procedures.

The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp is reusable.

No, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp is latex-free.

The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamps are hemostatic forceps.

Yes, this DeBakey Atraumatic Peripheral Vessel Clamp utilizes a ratcheted finger ring mechanism.

This design is essential for its use as hemostatic forceps, allowing for controlled and secure clamping during cardiovascular procedures. The benefits include:

• Secure Occlusion: The ratchet allows the surgeon to lock the clamp onto the vessel, maintaining consistent, stable pressure to temporarily halt blood flow.
• Durability: Being a reusable, Sklar Premium grade instrument, the mechanism is constructed from high-quality surgical grade stainless steel for long-term reliability.
