Description

The DeBakey Atraumatic Round Bodied Forceps are microvascular forceps used for handling blood vessels and soft tissue during cardiovascular and vascular procedures. They have a round-bodied profile with fine 1 mm DeBakey tips at the working end. The slender shape allows the forceps to be used around small vessels where a wider instrument can make access more difficult.

The jaws follow the DeBakey pattern, with fine serrations along the inner surfaces. These small serrations help hold a vessel without relying on a sharp or toothed grip. The working end is narrow, so the operator can pick up, move, or position delicate vascular tissue while keeping the contact area limited.

The round body runs smoothly into the tips and gives the forceps a simple tweezer-style form for hand control under magnification. Two end configurations are available, including a balanced end and a regular end profile. The forceps are also offered in 15 cm (6″) and 18 cm lengths, allowing the shorter or longer pattern to be selected according to the working depth.

In vascular surgery, this type of forceps can be used for holding and moving vessels during preparation and anastomosis. The fine DeBakey jaws are also useful when positioning tissue or working close to a vessel wall. The longer pattern can reach further into the operative field, while the shorter length is easier to handle when the working area is closer to the hand.

The body is made from surgical stainless steel with a smooth metal finish and a firm, slender construction. The fine tips are formed and finished carefully so that the serrated jaw surfaces meet correctly when the forceps are closed. Before dispatch, every piece goes through our quality inspection process. Our quality inspectors examine the tip alignment, serration pattern, body finish, and overall construction before the instrument is packed for supply.

The DeBakey Atraumatic Round Bodied Forceps are available in 15 cm and 18 cm lengths, with 1 mm DeBakey tips and a choice of end profiles. Their round body, fine serrated jaws, and narrow working end make them suitable for routine vessel handling during cardiovascular and microvascular procedures.
