The 6 1/4″ Cooley Patent Ductus Clamp Ang Shaft is a precision-engineered cardiovascular surgical instrument developed for temporary vascular occlusion during patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) repair and other delicate cardiothoracic procedures. Designed to meet the demands of pediatric cardiac, congenital heart, and vascular surgery, this clamp provides excellent maneuverability, atraumatic vessel handling, and dependable vascular control.

Measuring 6 1/4 inches (approximately 15.9 cm) in overall length, the clamp offers an ideal balance of reach and precision for operations involving small and delicate vascular structures. Its compact profile enables surgeons to work efficiently within restricted thoracic spaces while maintaining excellent visibility and instrument control.

The defining feature of this instrument is its angled shaft, which improves access to vessels positioned deep within the thoracic cavity or behind surrounding anatomical structures. The angled configuration allows surgeons to approach the patent ductus arteriosus and adjacent vessels from an optimal angle while minimizing obstruction of the operative field. This design enhances surgical accuracy and reduces the need for excessive tissue manipulation.

The atraumatic jaws are engineered to distribute clamping pressure evenly across the vessel wall, providing secure temporary occlusion while minimizing endothelial injury and tissue trauma. This gentle yet effective compression helps preserve vascular integrity during delicate dissections, ligation procedures, and vascular repairs, making the clamp particularly valuable in pediatric and congenital cardiac surgery.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the 6 1/4″ Cooley Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shaft offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, staining, and repeated sterilization. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth jaw alignment, consistent clamping performance, and reliable mechanical operation throughout years of clinical use. The satin matte finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting, improving visualization during intricate surgical procedures.

Ergonomic ring handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, enabling precise control while reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. The dependable ratchet locking mechanism maintains consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, ensuring stable vascular occlusion until controlled release is required. Smooth opening and closing action supports efficient instrument handling and enhances overall surgical workflow.

The 6 1/4″ Cooley Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shaft is widely used in patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) repair, pediatric cardiac surgery, congenital heart surgery, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, arterial reconstruction, and other procedures requiring temporary occlusion of delicate blood vessels. Its specialized design makes it an indispensable instrument for operations involving confined thoracic anatomy and fragile vascular tissues.

Designed for repeated professional use, the clamp is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its premium stainless steel construction maintains structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and precision through repeated sterilization cycles, ensuring dependable long-term clinical performance.

Combining precision craftsmanship, ergonomic handling, and specialized angled-shaft design, the 6 1/4″ Cooley Patent Ductus Clamp Angled Shaft provides the accuracy, reliability, and atraumatic vessel control required for advanced cardiovascular and pediatric thoracic surgery.
