DeBakey Scissors — Different Angles Plastic Artery

Reference SC 02-305-000: DeBakey Scissors — Different Angles Plastic Artery, supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Michael Ellis DeBakey, the legendary cardiovascular surgeon at Methodist Hospital Houston, lent his name to the atraumatic vascular forceps that became the standard instrument for handling delicate vascular tissue during cardiac and vascular surgery. The defining feature is the longitudinal serration pattern on the jaw — fine parallel grooves that grip vessel walls without crushing or perforating them. This was a critical advance over earlier tissue forceps in the era when reliable vascular anastomosis was being developed. Modern DeBakey forceps are manufactured in 15 cm, 20 cm, and 24 cm lengths; the longer variants are used in deep cavity work. The pattern remains standard across cardiac, vascular, and thoracic surgery.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
