Cooley Atrauma Ligature Clamp 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to place and secure ligatures and to handle suture within open surgical fields, this atraumatic ligature clamp is used where controlled, low-trauma grasping of suture or small vessels is required. Its atraumatic jaw profile minimizes crush injury to delicate tissues and sutures, making it well suited for vascular, general, and other specialty procedures that require precise ligation in confined or deeper operative sites.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 17 cm length provides additional reach for working in deeper pockets and cavities while maintaining tactile feedback. Ring handles with a ratchet mechanism allow the surgeon to lock the instrument at a chosen tension, freeing an assistant or stabilizing the suture during knot tying. The atraumatic jaw geometry distributes pressure across the clamped structure to reduce tissue compression and prevent suture fraying during ligation.
