Cooley/Ross Vena Cava Occl. Clamp Fr.28, 20cm

Clinical Application

Provides reliable temporary occlusion of the inferior vena cava and other large central veins to control hemorrhage and facilitate vascular anastomosis. Commonly used in cardiac, thoracic, hepatic and transplant procedures where secure, atraumatic control of high-flow venous structures is required. The Fr.28 designation indicates the instrument's occlusive capacity appropriate for large-bore venous trunks.

Design & Configuration

The long 20 cm shaft gives reach into the thoracic and upper abdominal cavities while keeping the operator's hands clear of the field. Broad, atraumatic jaws distribute compressive force over a larger surface to minimize endothelial trauma during temporary occlusion. A standard ratchet locking mechanism enables sustained vessel control without continuous manual pressure, and a box-lock joint provides durable tip alignment and consistent performance through repeated use.
