DeBakey Thumb Forcep (15.5 cm)—often designated as a DeBakey Vascular or Atraumatic Tissue Forcep—is a highly specialized precision instrument designed to grasp, hold, and manipulate delicate tissues and blood vessels without causing structural trauma. Engineered by pioneering cardiac surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, it is considered a gold standard in surgeries where preventing endothelial or tissue tearing is critical.
