The Cooley Illiac Clamp Cardiovascular 8 1/2″ Jaw 5.5cmis a premium cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered for precise temporary vascular occlusion during complex cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and thoracic procedures. Designed in the renowned Cooley pattern, this clamp is specifically intended for controlled occlusion of the iliac arteries and other large vascular structures while minimizing trauma to delicate vessel walls.

With an overall length of 8½ inches, the Cooley Iliac Clamp offers an ideal balance of reach, maneuverability, and surgical precision. Its versatile size enables surgeons to access deep pelvic and abdominal vascular structures while maintaining excellent visibility and instrument control. The balanced design also enhances handling during prolonged procedures and facilitates accurate placement in confined operative fields.

The clamp features 5.5cm atraumatic jaws, providing a broad and stable clamping surface for secure temporary vessel occlusion. The jaw length is optimized for engagement of medium to large arteries, allowing surgeons to achieve dependable vascular control without excessive compression of surrounding tissues. Precision-engineered serrations distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, helping reduce endothelial trauma while ensuring a firm, non-slip grip.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Cooley Iliac Clamp delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical performance. Precision machining ensures accurate jaw alignment, smooth mechanical operation, and reliable ratchet engagement throughout repeated surgical use. The satin finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting while supporting efficient cleaning and sterilization.

The ergonomic ring handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, allowing surgeons to maintain excellent tactile feedback and precise instrument control during lengthy procedures. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism features multiple locking positions, enabling controlled clamping pressure tailored to vessel diameter and surgical requirements while reducing hand fatigue.

The Cooley Iliac Clamp Cardiovascular 8½″ Jaw 5.5cm is widely used during iliac artery surgery, abdominal vascular reconstruction, aortoiliac bypass procedures, aneurysm repair, vascular anastomosis, peripheral arterial reconstruction, and other cardiovascular interventions requiring temporary vascular occlusion. Its specialized design makes it an essential instrument for cardiovascular operating rooms, vascular surgery departments, and specialized surgical centers.

The instrument is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Proper cleaning, inspection, and routine maintenance according to healthcare protocols help preserve jaw alignment, mechanical integrity, and long-term functionality.

The Cooley Iliac Clamp Cardiovascular 8½″ Jaw 5.5cm combines precision engineering, ergonomic handling, and premium stainless steel construction to meet the demanding standards of modern cardiovascular surgery. It provides surgeons with dependable vessel control, atraumatic tissue handling, and consistent clinical performance.
