The Role of Vascular Forceps in Cardiovascular Surgery

DeBakey Vascular Forceps: DeBakey forceps are fine, delicate instruments with gently curved jaws and multiple small serrations for an atraumatic grip. They are often used in vascular surgery to handle delicate blood vessels with precision.

Adson Vascular Forceps: Adson forceps have small, fine teeth near the tip, allowing for a secure yet gentle grasp of blood vessels. They are commonly used in intricate vascular procedures where precise control is crucial.

Halsted Mosquito Vascular Forceps: Halsted mosquito forceps are small, curved instruments with serrated jaws. They are frequently used to hold and clamp small blood vessels, particularly in microvascular surgeries.

Debakey-McCabe Vascular Forceps: Debakey-McCabe forceps are an updated version of DeBakey forceps, featuring wider jaws with atraumatic serrations. They are designed for handling larger blood vessels and tissues in vascular procedures.

Cooley Vascular Forceps: Cooley forceps have long, slender jaws and atraumatic serrations, making them suitable for intricate dissection and manipulation of arteries and veins.

Crile Vascular Forceps: Crile forceps have straight, serrated jaws and are used for clamping and controlling larger blood vessels. They provide a secure grip and are commonly used in vascular surgeries.

Debakey Atraumatic Vascular Forceps: These forceps have finely serrated jaws and are designed to minimize tissue trauma during vascular procedures. They are frequently used in aortic surgeries and vascular anastomosis.

Green-Armytage Vascular Forceps: Green-Armytage forceps have long, slender jaws with a fine, serrated pattern for a secure grip on blood vessels. They are commonly used in vascular surgery to handle vessels of varying sizes.

Yasargil Vascular Forceps: Yasargil forceps are microvascular instruments with delicate, fine tips and serrations. They are used in neurosurgical and microvascular procedures to manipulate tiny blood vessels and tissues.

Satinsky Vascular Forceps: Satinsky forceps have a unique, curved design with multiple fine teeth on the jaws. They are frequently used for vascular and organ transplantation procedures to clamp and control large blood vessels while minimizing damage.
