DeBakey Laparoscopic Grasper

Description

General Use:

• A minimally invasive surgical device used in laparoscopic surgeries.
• Laparoscopy is a medical procedure that involves making tiny incisions in the belly and inserting a camera to see the interior organs. Instruments are subsequently placed via additional minor incisions to complete the procedure.
• DeBakey grabbers are specially developed to grip delicate tissues with little harm.

Key features:

• Clutching Mechanism: Jaws feature atraumatic teeth that allow for secure clutching without inflicting tissue injury.
• Some models may have a spoon tip on one jaw for scooping or dissecting tissues.
• The shaft diameter is normally approximately 5mm to accommodate laparoscopic incisions.
• Working length varies, but is typically between 32 and 35 cm to give reach into the belly.
• Material: High-quality stainless steel ensures durability and sterilization.
• Some versions may use carbon fiber shafts to save weight and enhance handling.

Benefits:

• Atraumatic gripping reduces tissue injury and bleeding.
• The long working length gives access to deep regions inside the belly.
• Compared to standard open surgery, the laparoscopic method shortens the patient’s recuperation period.
