DeBakey TC Artery Scissors — 45° Angled, 23 cm (23.0 cm)

Reference SC 02-876-02-23: DeBakey TC Artery Scissors — 45° Angled, 23 cm (23.0 cm). An angled working head allows access to recessed structures while keeping the handle outside the immediate operating field. Tungsten-carbide tip inserts extend service life roughly ten-fold versus plain stainless and retain grip integrity through hundreds of autoclave cycles.

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.

Sialkot has been the world’s primary cluster for surgical-instrument manufacturing since the late nineteenth century, when local steel workshops began supplying instruments to British military and civilian hospitals. Fizza Surgical’s facility continues that tradition, combining workshop craftsmanship with the metallurgy and quality systems modern medical regulation requires. Fizza products are exhibited at international medical-device trade fairs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
