8 1/2″ Cooley Iliac Clamp Jaw 5.5cm

The 8½″ Cooley Iliac Clamp Jaw 5.5cm is a specialized surgical instrument associated with vascular procedures involving the iliac vessels. Designed for use by trained healthcare professionals, this clamp supports controlled vessel clamping when indicated by the surgical technique and the instrument's intended purpose. Its stated 8½-inch overall length provides a defined working reach, while the 5.5cm jaw specification helps distinguish this model from clamps with different jaw lengths.

Cooley clamps are used in vascular surgery, with specific designs intended for different clamping requirements. The iliac clamp configuration is intended for applications involving the iliac vascular region, but the exact suitability of this model depends on its jaw profile, curvature, opening capacity, and manufacturer-defined use. These details should be confirmed before purchase to ensure the instrument matches the planned procedure.

The jaw length is an important consideration when selecting a vascular clamp. The stated 5.5cm measurement identifies the jaw length specified in the product title. However, jaw length alone does not establish the clamping surface, degree of curvature, jaw width, or whether the jaws are straight, angled, or otherwise contoured. Buyers should confirm these details with the supplier when matching the instrument to a specific surgical requirement.

The overall length of 8½ inches provides a useful reference for procurement and instrument-set organization. Appropriate clamp selection also depends on vessel anatomy, access requirements, the required degree of occlusion, and the surgeon's preferred technique. Healthcare professionals should use the instrument only in accordance with its intended application and established clinical protocols.

The product title does not specify the material grade, handle configuration, locking mechanism, jaw serration pattern, or whether the clamp provides complete or partial occlusion. These characteristics can vary by model and manufacturer. Confirming the complete specifications is particularly important for vascular instruments, where jaw design and pressure characteristics affect suitability for the intended task.

Material and construction should also be verified before ordering. The product name alone does not establish whether the clamp is made from a particular stainless steel grade or another material. Medical facilities and purchasing teams should consult the supplier for material information, product documentation, and compatibility with the facility's instrument-processing procedures.

If the instrument is reusable, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging, and sterilization must follow the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established protocols. Before use, inspect the jaws, joint, handles, and locking mechanism, if present, for damage or impaired function. Instruments that fail inspection should be removed from service according to facility policy.

The 8½″ Cooley Iliac Clamp with a 5.5cm jaw is a catalog option for vascular surgery departments and medical instrument suppliers seeking a clamp with a defined overall length and jaw measurement. Confirming the jaw configuration, intended use, material, and operating characteristics before purchase helps ensure the instrument meets clinical and procurement requirements.
