D’Amico DeBakey Clamp


D’Amico DeBakey Clamps

  • The tapered jaws of these clamps were developed specifically to facilitate and ease dissection of key structures during VATS procedures
  • The curved jaws are perfect for blunt dissection to mobilize the artery, vein and bronchus
  • The straight jaws were designed specifically to be used as a guide prior to stapling by passing behind the mobilized artery, vein or bronchus to replicate the direction of the linear stapler
  • The straight jaws may be used to clamp the lung tissue parallel to the stapler when stapling the lung tissue; this creates even tissue tension which results in a smooth, even staple line
