6 1/2″ Cooley Peripheral Vascular Clamp Jaws 55°

The 6½″ Cooley Peripheral Vascular Clamp with 55° Jaws is a specialized instrument in the vascular surgical category. Cooley-pattern instruments are associated with cardiovascular and vascular surgery, while the peripheral vascular designation identifies the product category for procedures involving peripheral blood vessels.

The listed overall length is 6½ inches, approximately 16.5 cm. The 55-degree jaw angle distinguishes this model from clamps with straight or differently angled jaws. Exact jaw dimensions and the manufacturer's intended-use information should be confirmed before purchasing.

55-Degree Angled Jaw Design

The angled jaw configuration provides a different approach to the target vessel compared with a straight clamp. Depending on the instrument's geometry and the operative site, this design may help accommodate specific access requirements.

The precise reference point used to measure the 55-degree angle is not specified in the product title. Buyers should confirm whether the angle refers to the jaw alignment, shank, or another part of the instrument. Jaw length, width, contact surface, and curvature should also be verified with the supplier.

Peripheral Vascular Applications

Peripheral vascular clamps are used in selected surgical procedures to temporarily control blood flow through vessels. The appropriate clamp depends on the target vessel, required clamping characteristics, available surgical access, and the clinician's technique.

This Cooley-pattern model may be considered for a vascular instrument inventory when its verified specifications match the intended procedure. The product title alone does not establish suitability for every vessel or surgical application. Follow the manufacturer's stated intended use and the judgment of qualified healthcare professionals.

Length and Surgical Handling

The 6½-inch overall length, approximately 16.5 cm, provides a useful reference when comparing this instrument with other peripheral vascular clamps. The combination of overall length and angled jaws may affect reach and approach, depending on the exact instrument geometry.

Before ordering, confirm the overall length, jaw dimensions, angle reference, handle design, and operating mechanism. These details help distinguish this model from other Cooley vascular clamps.

Material and Construction

The product title does not specify the material grade or finish. Ask the supplier to confirm the construction material, corrosion resistance, and relevant quality or conformity documentation.

Inspect the jaws for alignment, surface damage, and proper function before use. Any signs of corrosion, deformation, or mechanical problems should be evaluated according to the manufacturer's instructions before the instrument is returned to service.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Maintenance

Follow the manufacturer's validated instructions for cleaning, inspection, sterilization, storage, and maintenance. Confirm whether the clamp is reusable and which processing methods are approved for the specific model. Reusable instruments should be inspected before and after processing, and damaged or malfunctioning items should be removed from service according to facility procedures.

Choosing the Right Cooley Peripheral Vascular Clamp

When selecting a peripheral vascular clamp, consider overall length, jaw angle, jaw dimensions, clamping characteristics, and intended clinical application. Confirming the exact 55-degree configuration and other specifications helps ensure accurate product identification and appropriate instrument selection.
