Frequently asked questions
What are the specific surgical applications?
This specialized instrument is designed for precise control during cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Its primary function is the temporary, partial occlusion of major blood vessels while ensuring minimal tissue trauma.
The Sklar DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is specifically engineered for use on critical vascular structures, including the:
- Aorta
- Vena cava
- Carotid artery
The key to its utility is the atraumatic pattern, which features 1 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth and blunt rounded tips. This construction allows for the delicate handling of sensitive vascular tissue, minimizing the risk of vessel damage during surgery.
What makes this clamp atraumatic?
The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra clamp is engineered for delicate, controlled partial occlusion of major blood vessels (such as the aorta, vena cava, and carotid artery) while minimizing tissue trauma.
Its atraumatic design relies on specific working surface features:
- Nontraumatic Teeth: The instrument jaws feature 1 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth designed to grip securely without damaging vessel walls.
- Blunt Rounded Tips: It includes blunt rounded tips to prevent accidental tearing or piercing of delicate tissues.
Furthermore, the clamp is constructed from durable Sklar premium-grade surgical stainless steel and features a double-angled curvature for optimal access and precise positioning during complex cardiovascular procedures.
Is premium-grade stainless steel used for the clamp?
The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is crafted from Sklar premium-grade surgical stainless steel. This material ensures exceptional durability, reliability, and resistance to corrosion, making it a robust and long-lasting instrument for cardiovascular procedures.
Is the Sklar DeBakey Derra clamp a reusable tool?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is reusable. Crafted from premium-grade stainless steel, this durable hemostatic forceps is designed for repeated sterilization and use, offering a cost-effective and environmentally conscious option for cardiovascular procedures.
What is the clamp's length?
The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp measures 6.75 inches long. This standardized length, along with its double-angled curvature, is designed for optimal reach and control during cardiovascular procedures involving major vessels like the aorta, vena cava, and carotid artery.
Is this clamp ideal for major blood vessels?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is specifically designed for controlling blood flow in major vessels, including the carotid artery, aorta, and vena cava. Its design minimizes damage to these delicate structures during procedures.
What are the features of the atraumatic design?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra clamp is specifically designed to be atraumatic, ensuring minimal trauma when partially occluding delicate blood vessels, such as the aorta, carotid, arteries, and veins.
This crucial capability is achieved through precise design specifications:
- Working Surface: Features 1 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth to provide a secure yet gentle grip on delicate vessel walls.
- Jaws: The jaws terminate in blunt rounded tips, which are essential for preventing puncture or tearing of vascular structures.
- Construction: The clamp is manufactured from Sklar premium-grade surgical stainless steel, guaranteeing the precision and reliability needed for long-term, reusable application in advanced cardiovascular surgery.
Is the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp latex-free?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for both patients and medical personnel.
Are different clamp sizes offered?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp is offered in two size configurations: Small and Medium.
Both the Small and Medium variants share the same precise overall instrument length, measuring 6.75 inches. These highly durable clamps are made from reusable Sklar premium-grade surgical stainless steel.
Is the working surface gentle on vessels?
The Sklar Cardiovascular DeBakey Derra Atraumatic Clamp features 1 x 2 rows of nontraumatic fine teeth on its working surface. This design ensures a secure grip while minimizing trauma to delicate vessel walls during cardiovascular procedures.
