Controlled Clamping for Cardiovascular and General Surgical Workflows
The Anastamosis Clamp standard 6 1/2" (DeBakey Jaw) is a surgical clamp intended for controlled handling and temporary occlusion during anastomosis-related procedures. Its DeBakey jaw configuration supports deliberate placement where access and controlled instrument handling are important. The 6 1/2" length provides a practical reach for cardiovascular and general surgery workflows while maintaining a standard-weight profile for routine instrument manipulation. Used as part of an established surgical technique, this clamp helps organize the operative field and supports consistent handling during vessel-related and other anastomosis tasks.
Use Cases
- Support controlled clamping during cardiovascular anastomosis procedures.
- Assist with temporary vessel handling and occlusion within general surgical workflows.
- Use the 6 1/2" length when practical reach is needed around the operative field.
- Apply the DeBakey jaw configuration for deliberate positioning during anastomosis-related instrument handling.

Care & Reprocessing
- Clean and reprocess the clamp according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
- Inspect the DeBakey jaws, alignment, and overall clamp condition before and after use.
- Handle the jaws carefully to help preserve their working surfaces and functional alignment.
- Store the instrument in a manner that protects it from damage and keeps it ready for controlled handling.
