Debakey forceps are a type of surgical instrument that are commonly used in cardiovascular surgery. They are named after Dr. Michael DeBakey, a pioneering cardiovascular surgeon who developed the design of these forceps in the mid-20th century.
Debakey forceps are designed to provide a secure grip on blood vessels and other soft tissue during surgical procedures. They have long, thin jaws that can be used to clamp or hold tissue, and a ratcheted handle that allows for precise control of the jaws.
One of the key benefits of Debakey forceps is their ability to grip vessels and tissue firmly without causing damage. This makes them an ideal instrument for use in delicate procedures such as vascular anastomosis, where precision and control are essential.
Debakey forceps are available in a range of sizes and styles, each designed for specific surgical applications. For example, some forceps have flat jaws, while others have curved jaws that can be used to grasp tissue in hard-to-reach areas.

More Debakey forceps sets
General surgery:Â Debakey forceps are often used in general surgical procedures, such as hernia repair and appendectomy.
Neurosurgery:Â These forceps are used in procedures involving the brain and spinal cord, such as craniotomy and spinal fusion.
Debakey forceps come in different sets, each set designed for specific surgical applications. Some sets include:
Cardiovascular set:Â This set typically includes forceps of varying sizes, with flat or slightly curved jaws, to accommodate different vessel sizes.
Thoracic set:Â This set typically includes forceps with longer jaws and may have more curved jaws to reach deep into the thorax.
Microvascular set:Â This set typically includes smaller forceps with very fine jaws, designed for use in microsurgery and in small vessels.
