Cooley Atrauma Coarctation Clamp 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary vascular occlusion during coarctation repair and related thoracic vascular procedures, this clamp provides reliable proximal and distal control of the aorta or large vessels while minimizing intimal trauma. The 17 cm length balances reach into the mediastinum with in-hand control, making it suitable for pediatric congenital cardiac cases and select adult thoracic exposures. It is used for controlled, temporary cessation of blood flow during direct repair, patch aortoplasty, interposition grafting, and other reconstructive maneuvers where atraumatic handling of the vessel is required.

Design & Configuration

The long-shank geometry allows surgeons to reach into confined or deep operative fields without excessive hand intrusion into the wound. Broad, atraumatic jaw faces distribute clamping pressure across the vessel wall to reduce the risk of intimal injury while providing secure occlusion. The slim profile of the jaws helps preserve visibility around the clamp and facilitates placement adjacent to sutured repair lines. The overall balance between reach and tactile control supports precise application and removal during critical phases of vascular reconstruction.

Instrument Specifications
