8 1/2″ Cooley Partial Occlusion Clamp 3.5cm Deep, 8mm Wide Jaws

The 8½″ Cooley Partial Occlusion Clamp is a specialized vascular instrument designed for controlled partial occlusion of blood vessels during suitable surgical procedures. Its design is intended to allow clamping of a selected portion of a vessel while leaving part of the vessel lumen unobstructed, when appropriate for the technique and clinical objective. The exact application depends on the instrument's construction and the manufacturer's intended-use specifications.

This Cooley clamp has a stated overall length of 8½ inches, with jaws measuring 3.5cm deep and 8mm wide. These dimensions help distinguish the instrument from other partial occlusion clamps and assist healthcare facilities in selecting the appropriate model for their requirements. The jaw depth and width should be verified against the supplier's dimensional specifications to ensure they match the intended application.

Partial occlusion clamps are used in selected vascular procedures where temporary, controlled clamping of part of a vessel is required. The Cooley design is associated with cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrumentation. However, suitability for a particular vessel, anatomical site, or surgical technique must be determined by qualified clinicians using the manufacturer's instructions and established clinical protocols.

Jaw dimensions are important when selecting a partial occlusion clamp. The 3.5cm depth identifies the specified jaw measurement, while the 8mm width describes the stated jaw width. These measurements alone do not establish the jaw curvature, surface pattern, opening capacity, or clamping pressure. Such features may vary between models and should be confirmed before purchasing the instrument.

The 8½-inch overall length provides a practical reference for procurement, handling assessment, and organization within a vascular instrument set. The clamp's suitability also depends on its handle configuration, joint design, locking mechanism, and the access requirements of the procedure. Users should apply the instrument only as intended and avoid relying on dimensions alone to determine its clinical suitability.

The product title does not specify the construction material, exact jaw profile, locking design, or reusable status. Buyers should obtain verified information from the manufacturer or supplier, especially when material grade, product documentation, and compatibility with an established reprocessing process are purchasing requirements.

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

The 8½″ Cooley Partial Occlusion Clamp with 3.5cm deep and 8mm wide jaws is an option for vascular surgery departments and medical instrument suppliers seeking a clamp with specified jaw dimensions. Confirming the intended use, jaw geometry, material, and operating characteristics helps ensure that the selected instrument meets clinical and procurement requirements.
