Cooley Atrauma Carotis Clamp 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for vascular procedures requiring temporary, atraumatic occlusion of the carotid artery and adjacent medium-sized neck vessels. Commonly used during carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery reconstruction, and procedures that require precise proximal or distal control of the common carotid or internal carotid while minimizing intimal trauma.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's long 19 cm profile provides reach and working length appropriate for neck exposures without excessive bulk in the wound. Fine, atraumatic jaw surfaces distribute pressure to reduce focal compression of the vessel wall and lower the risk of intimal injury. A ratchet locking mechanism enables secure, adjustable occlusion with tactile feedback for controlled vessel handling. The slender shank geometry improves visualization and access in confined operative fields.

Instrument Specifications

• Length: 19 cm
• Intended use: temporary vascular occlusion of carotid and similar-sized vessels
• Jaw type: atraumatic, fine-contact surfaces to minimize intimal trauma
• Locking: ratchet lock for controlled closure
• Construction: stainless steel, reusable design

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated clinical use and standard sterilization processes. The atraumatic jaw faces are formed to provide broad contact over the vessel surface rather than focal cutting pressure. Reusable construction supports cost-effective inventory management in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
