5 1/2″ Cooley Multi-Purpose Clamp 90° Angled

The 5 1/2″ Cooley Multi-Purpose Clamp 90° Angled is a specialized cardiovascular surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, positioning, and handling of appropriate vascular structures and tissue during demanding surgical procedures. Its 5½-inch overall length provides a compact and maneuverable profile, while the 90° angled working configuration allows the instrument to approach anatomical structures from a perpendicular direction. The 90° angled design is particularly useful when direct access to a vessel or tissue structure is restricted. By positioning the working end at a right angle to the instrument shaft, the clamp can approach structures from the side or around adjacent anatomy. This can improve access and instrument positioning in confined operative fields where a straight clamp may be less practical. At 5½ inches in length , the Cooley Multi-Purpose Clamp provides a balance between close surgical control and useful working reach. Its compact profile allows the instrument to be maneuvered near the operative site without excessive shaft length. This can be advantageous during procedures where precise positioning and clear visualization are important. The multi-purpose configuration provides versatility for appropriate surgical applications. Depending on the specific working-end design and established surgical technique, the instrument may assist with vessel manipulation, tissue positioning, surgical exposure, or controlled handling of anatomical structures. It may be incorporated into cardiovascular, vascular, thoracic, and general surgical instrument sets. Cooley-pattern vascular instruments are commonly associated with cardiovascular surgery and procedures involving delicate vascular structures. The angled configuration of this model can facilitate access around major vessels and other anatomical structures. The instrument should be selected and used by qualified surgical professionals according to the patient’s anatomy and the requirements of the procedure. The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for professional reusable surgical use. Precision manufacturing supports reliable working-end alignment and smooth mechanical operation. A polished surface also facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. Proper handling is important to preserve the 90° working configuration. The instrument should not be exposed to excessive force, twisting, or inappropriate leverage, as these actions can compromise jaw alignment or mechanical performance. Regular inspection should be performed to identify wear, corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or other defects. Following use, reusable instruments should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to established healthcare-facility procedures. Particular attention should be given to the angled working end, hinge, and adjacent surfaces where biological material may accumulate. The instrument should be thoroughly inspected after cleaning and before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional infection-control requirements. Proper storage and careful handling help protect the 90° angled working end and extend the instrument’s service life. The 5½″ Cooley Multi-Purpose Clamp 90° Angled combines a compact surgical profile with a specialized right-angle configuration for controlled access and manipulation. Its durable construction and versatile design make it a practical addition to professional cardiovascular and vascular surgical instrument sets.
