Cooley Multi Purpose Aorta Clamp 25

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary occlusion of the ascending, descending, or abdominal aorta and other large-caliber arteries, this clamp provides the surgeon controlled proximal or distal vascular control during open cardiac, thoracic and major vascular procedures. Common intraoperative uses include creating a bloodless field for aortic cross-clamping during cardiopulmonary bypass initiation, securing control during aneurysm repair, and providing temporary hemostasis during vessel repair or anastomosis.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's elongated jaws and ratcheted handle deliver secure clamping force at a distance, helping the operator reach deep thoracic or retroperitoneal targets without excessive hand fatigue. The multi-purpose geometry balances jaw length and profile to provide broad vessel contact while minimizing localized pressure points, which aids in atraumatic occlusion of large arteries. A positive ratchet lock allows the clamp to maintain occlusion without continuous manual pressure, freeing the assistant and reducing instrument slips during delicate vascular work.
