Cooley Derra Anastomosis Pediatric Clamp 17cm

Clinical Application

This pediatric anastomosis clamp is designed to provide controlled, atraumatic occlusion of small arteries and veins during pediatric vascular and cardiothoracic procedures. It is used to temporarily isolate vessel segments for sutured anastomosis, conduit attachment, or reconstructions where a delicate, evenly distributed grip is required to minimize endothelial trauma and preserve luminal integrity.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's fine jaw geometry and ratchet locking mechanism deliver predictable, incremental clamping pressure—important when working on small-caliber pediatric vessels. At 17 cm overall length the clamp balances reach and tactile control, allowing access into confined operative fields while maintaining handle clearance for suture placement. A narrow jaw profile reduces bulk at the site, facilitating visualization and instrument maneuvering during meticulous anastomotic work.
