DeBakey Scissors — Offset Straight

Its straight profile is the choice for direct-access work where the operating field sits along the instrument axis. The DeBakey Scissors — Offset Straight ships under reference SC 02-305-00.

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.
