Cooley/Ross Vena Cava Occl. Clamp Fr.26, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide temporary, atraumatic occlusion of large-caliber veins, this clamp is used to control venous inflow during open cardiothoracic and vascular procedures. Typical applications include control of the inferior or superior vena cava during intracardiac repair, caval thrombectomy, hepatic or retroperitoneal exposure, and other procedures where secure, short-term occlusion of the vena cava is required to establish a bloodless field and facilitate safe dissection or repair.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s Cooley/Ross pattern is built for broad, evenly distributed compression across a large vessel surface to reduce the risk of localized vessel trauma while providing secure occlusion. The 16 cm overall length balances reach within the thoracic or abdominal cavity and tactile control at the operator’s hand. The Fr.26 sizing indicates the clamp is intended for large-diameter venous structures, and the integrated locking mechanism maintains consistent occlusion without continuous manual force, improving surgeon control during critical portions of the procedure.
