DeBakey- Bahnson Clamps

The DeBakey- Bahnson Clamps (SKU CV 07-250-00) is part of the Fizza Surgical 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.

Manufacturing compliance is verified through ISO 13485:2016 certification (the international medical-device quality standard), CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, and FDA establishment registration. Certificate copies and regulatory documentation are available on request for inclusion in hospital procurement files and EU technical documentation packages. Sterilization validation follows ISO 17665 for steam autoclave at 134 °C.
