1 5/8″ Glover Bulldog Clamp Angled 90° Cooley Jaw

The 1 5/8″ Glover Bulldog Clamp Angled 90° Cooley Jaw is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled temporary occlusion and manipulation of small blood vessels. Its compact 1⅝-inch configuration, 90-degree angled design, and Cooley-style jaw make it suitable for delicate cardiovascular and vascular procedures where precise vessel control and access are essential. Bulldog clamps are commonly used in vascular and cardiovascular surgery to temporarily interrupt blood flow through a selected vessel. Their compact construction allows the surgeon to apply and remove the clamp efficiently while working in a limited operative field. The Glover Bulldog Clamp design is particularly useful when a small, controlled vascular clamp is required for temporary occlusion. The 90° angled configuration is a key feature of this model. The right-angle orientation allows the working end to approach the target vessel from a perpendicular direction, which can be advantageous when direct access is restricted or when surrounding anatomy makes a straight instrument difficult to position. This geometry can improve maneuverability in confined surgical fields while helping maintain a clear line of access to the target vessel. The Cooley-style jaw provides a specialized working surface intended for controlled vascular engagement. Accurate jaw alignment and consistent clamping action are important characteristics in vascular instruments because they allow the surgeon to position the clamp with precision. The compact size of this bulldog clamp makes it appropriate for small-vessel applications where larger vascular clamps may be impractical. At 1⅝ inches , the short overall profile supports delicate surgical manipulation and is particularly well suited to procedures involving small or easily accessible vascular structures. The instrument may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, microsurgical, and other specialty surgical instrument sets where temporary vessel occlusion is required. The clamp is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing strength, corrosion resistance, and durability for professional surgical use. Precision manufacturing helps maintain the alignment and mechanical function of the jaws, while a smooth finish facilitates routine cleaning and inspection. The Glover Bulldog Clamp Angled 90° Cooley Jaw can be used in appropriate cardiovascular and vascular procedures involving temporary vessel control. The specific vessel, location, clamping pressure, and duration of application should always be determined by the qualified operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and the requirements of the procedure. Proper maintenance is essential for preserving the clamp’s performance. Following use, reusable models should be cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. The jaw surfaces, hinge, and overall alignment should be inspected for debris, corrosion, wear, or damage. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional sterilization protocols. With its compact 1⅝-inch design, 90° angled profile, and Cooley-style jaw , this Glover Bulldog Clamp provides a specialized solution for controlled vascular occlusion in confined operative fields. Its precision-oriented design and durable construction make it a useful addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument collections.
