Cooley Cardiovascular Clamp

Cooley Caval Occlusion Forceps 8-1/4" (21.0 cm) Cooley Caval Occlusion Forceps are specially designed vascular clamps for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. This instrument is designed with ring handles for ease in maneuvering and opening and closing and also a ratcheting mechanism to hold the forceps at a particular tightness. The most unique feature of these forceps is that each jaw features a half circle projection outwards which when the jaw is brought together forms a complete circular opening as well as the fact that the entire instrument is formed in a crescent type shape. This instrument is available with a number of different diameters to the opening in the jaws in 2 fr. Increments from 24 – 40 fr.

Exclusion Clamp s shaped, curved jaws 8.5 cm, 7-1/4" (18.5 cm) Aortic Exclusion Clamp are ideally made for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures in which there is a need to exclude a certain portion of the aorta. The unique "S" shaped curvature of the jaws makes it contoured to fit the unique curvature and shapes necessary of atraumatic clamping of vessels. Although this instrument could have a wide application on other vessels it is designed for use in clamping of the aorta. This instrument is comprised of premium German operating-room grade stainless steel.

Cooley Auricular Appendage Forceps 1-5/8" x 3/8" (4.1 cm x 1.0 cm) jaws, 10" (25.4 cm) Cooley Auricular Appendage Forceps are specially designed for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures. These forceps have a wide application but are particularly well suited for use in manipulating auricular appendages. Each auricle leads into its respective atrium and thus this instrument is of use in surgical procedures that require access to the atria. The scissor handle grip allows for ease in grasping and manipulating this tool.

Cooley Coarctation Clamp - 9 3/4" 7.0 cm long straight jaws, straight shanks, 9-3/4" (24.8 cm) Cooley Coractation Clamp is well suited for use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures that necessitate total or partial occlusion of a vessel. This is often done in cardiothoracic surgical procedures to prevent the patients from losing an excessive amount of blood during surgery. This pattern features longer jaws and a longer overall length for cases where additional reach is necessary, as well as straight jaws and shanks which are designed to provide a firm and stable grip once they have been affixed to the site where the clamping is needed.
