Periosteotome
Periosteotome
pediatric size, 6" (15.2 cm)
Alexander Periosteotome is used in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The unique double headed design of this instrument allows it to be multi-functional and useful in a variety of surgical maneuvers. One end is shaped like a small mallet while the other is slightly chisel shaped with a rough ridged surface. This instrument can be used when it is necessary to remove periosteium, the tissue overlying bone which contains all of the nervous and vascular supply. Additionally, this instrument is designed for pediatric use.
Peripheral Vascular Clamp
Peripheral Vascular Clamp
curved, 6" (15.0 cm)
DeBakey Peripheral Vascular Clamp is designed for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures where it is necessary to block or occlude blood flow. Although it is a multi-purpose instrument is is best suited for clamping of peripheral vessels. The slightly curved jaws as well as the jaw teeth allow the clamp to remain securely fastened at the site where it is affixed through the procedure.

DeBakey Multi-Purpose Peripheral Vascular Clamp is ideally crafted to be an all-purpose clamp for use during cardiothoracic surgical procedures to clamp peripheral vessels. This instrument is ideal for clamping any vessels during surgery for a number of reasons one of the most important being to occlude blood flow through vessels to prevent the patient from losing an excessive amount of blood. The slight angle of the blade allows the instrument handle to be slightly out of the surgical field so as to keep that as clear as possible for increased visibility.
Plain Rib Shears
Plain Rib Shears
9" (22.9 cm)
Plain Rib Shears can be used in cardiothoracic procedures that require rib cutting. The slight tapered handles lend themselves to comfortable handling and precise control when clipping ribs. This shear also features curved blades to allow a contoured fit to the curved surface of the rib resulting in clean cuts with reduced splintering.
Plaque Remover
Plaque Remover
Plaque Remover is an ideal instrument for removal of plaque in cardiothoracic surgeries aimed at removing plaque debris in vessels. This tool is designed with ring handles that can be locked together with the ratchet mechanism. The blade portion comes either angled or at a gentle curve to fit the contour of the environment it is in. The right angled tool is also available in both long and short to accommodate a variety of patients as well as surgeon preferences to give an optimal result.
Popliteal Anastomosis Clamp
Popliteal Anastomosis Clamp
debakey jaws, jaws 4.0 cm, 7-1/4" (18.5 cm)
Dale Improved Femoral Popliteal Anastomosis clamp is ideally suited for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. This is a highly versatile vascular clamp that can be used in procedures requiring a femoral popliteal anastomosis. Additionally, this clamp can be used when a broken-back small vascular clamp is required. This instrument is hand-crafted by certified instrument makers to conform to the highest standards in instrumentation.
Popliteal Clamp
Popliteal Clamp
Dale Femoral Popliteal Clamp is created for use in clamping of the femoral artery which later transitions to become the popliteal artery as it travels down the leg making this vascular clamp useful in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. This clamp features a hook shaped curved jaw creating a design that allows optimal clamping of the vessel while keeping the handle and remainder of the tool out of the surgical field. This instrument is available in three sizes: small, medium and large to accommodate a variety of patients and vessel sizes.

The black-coated ring handles increase comfort for the surgeon. Supercut scissors are designed to provide the surgeon with maximum control. These scissors feature specially-designed razor sharp upper blade edges to cut effortlessly and cleanly through dense or delicate tissue, have diamond-cut micro-serrations on the lower blade to grip tissue and prevent slippage, and feature black-coated handles.
Rib Raspatory
Rib Raspatory
double-ended, 11-3/8" (29.0 cm)
Davidson-Alexander Rib Raspatory is commonly utilized in some cardiothoracic procedures. It features two scoop shaped heads, one small and one large, on opposing ends of the instrument. This raspatory can be useful in procedures where surgical approaches require entry through regions where it is necessary to go through the ribs or to enlarge certain openings to allow easier access to the surgical field.

Lebsche Sternal Chisel is an instrument commonly used in cardiothoracic procedures specifically in procedures involving splitting the sternum. This chisel is ideally used in a midline sternotomy where it is necessary to make an incision and create a split down the midline of the sternum. The chisel shaped instrument can be hit with a driving force such as a mallet to generate the power needed to split the bone.
