Cooley Atrauma Ligature Clamp 16cm

Clinical Application

This atraumatic ligature clamp is designed to securely hold ligatures, suture tails and small vessels during ligation and knot-tying. It is commonly used in general and vascular surgical procedures where delicate handling of vessel walls and suture material is required to prevent crushing or intimal injury. The 16 cm length provides reach for moderately deep operative fields while keeping tips accessible for fine manipulation.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles with a ratcheted locking mechanism allow the clamp to be set at a desired tension and held hands-free, facilitating precise knot placement and hemostasis without slipping. The atraumatic fine jaws distribute contact force across suture and vessel tissue to minimize trauma while maintaining a secure grip. The slender shank and mid-length profile balance reach and control for use in both superficial and deeper dissections.
