DeBakey bulldog vascular clamp

Pictured is a DeBakey bulldog vascular clamp engineered for precise and atraumatic occlusion of vessels during surgical procedures.

With a total length of 90mm (3-1/2″) and jaw length of 35mm (1-3/8″), this clamp features straight, finely serrated jaws and a spring-action mechanism for secure, non-damaging grip.

Its longer jaw design makes it suitable for controlling medium-sized vessels in cardiovascular and microvascular surgeries. A spring-action mechanism drives the tool.

This ensures a non-damaging grip. Medium-sized vessels are controlled easily. Cardiovascular procedures benefit from this design.

Microvascular surgeries also require it. Reliability matters in the operating room. Stainless steel forms the core structure. German steel offers superior strength. A dull and matte finish prevents glare.
