Cooley Vascular Clamp 60° Angled Small Jaw

The Cooley Vascular Clamp 60° Angled Small Jaw is a specialized vascular surgical instrument designed for controlled temporary occlusion, positioning, and manipulation of blood vessels during appropriately indicated cardiovascular and vascular procedures. Its 60° angled working configuration provides an intermediate angled approach to the target vessel, while the small jaw offers a compact working profile for appropriately sized vascular structures. Vascular procedures often require instruments that can approach vessels from different directions depending on patient anatomy and the operative exposure. A straight clamp may not always provide the most practical access, particularly when surrounding tissues, retractors, grafts, or other instruments limit the available working angle. The Cooley 60° angled vascular clamp provides a specialized configuration intended to address these positioning requirements. The defining characteristic of this model is its 60° angled working end . This angle allows the clamp to approach a vascular structure from a distinctly angled direction while maintaining controlled positioning through the handles. Compared with a 90° clamp, the 60° configuration provides a less perpendicular approach, which may be advantageous when the surgical anatomy calls for an intermediate angle. The small jaw configuration provides a compact working end intended for appropriately sized vessels. A smaller jaw can be beneficial when precise positioning is required within a restricted anatomical field. The jaw size should always be matched to the target vessel, patient anatomy, and procedural requirements by qualified surgical personnel. The combination of a 60° angle and small jaw creates a specialized vascular instrument for procedures requiring both compact dimensions and angled access. The configuration can help the surgeon approach vessels while maintaining clearance from surrounding structures. It may also reduce interference with adjacent instruments during complex operative exposure. The Cooley Vascular Clamp may be incorporated into professional cardiovascular surgery, vascular reconstruction, thoracic surgery, peripheral vascular procedures, and specialty vascular instrument sets . Depending on the specific operative technique, it can support temporary vascular occlusion, vessel positioning, manipulation, or controlled exposure. Exact clinical use should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the patient’s anatomy and surgical requirements. Reliable mechanical performance is essential for vascular clamps. The small jaws should open and close smoothly and remain correctly aligned throughout the operating range. The 60° working angle should remain consistent and free from deformation. The clamp should be used only for its intended purpose and should not be forcibly bent or twisted. Professional reusable vascular clamps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , selected for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance when properly maintained. Precision manufacturing helps maintain the intended jaw geometry, 60° angle, and mechanical performance through repeated clinical use. After use, the Cooley Vascular Clamp 60° Angled Small Jaw should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-reprocessing protocol. Blood and tissue residue should be thoroughly removed from the small jaws, angled working end, hinge, and accessible surfaces. The instrument should then be rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated process compatible with the instrument. Before reuse, trained personnel should inspect the clamp for 60° jaw alignment, small-jaw integrity, smooth opening and closing, corrosion, surface damage, and structural condition . Particular attention should be given to the angled working end to ensure it has not been deformed. Any instrument showing excessive wear or impaired mechanical function should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures. The Cooley Vascular Clamp 60° Angled Small Jaw combines a compact small-jaw configuration with a specialized 60° working angle for controlled vascular access. It is a practical addition to professional Cooley vascular clamps, 60-degree vascular clamps, small jaw vascular instruments, cardiovascular surgical instruments, and specialty vascular surgery sets .

What is the Cooley Vascular Clamp 60° Angled Small Jaw used for? It is designed for controlled temporary vascular occlusion, positioning, and manipulation of appropriately sized vessels during selected cardiovascular and vascular procedures. 2. What does the 60° angled configuration mean? The working end is positioned at approximately 60 degrees , providing an angled approach between a straight clamp and a right-angle configuration. 3. What is the benefit of a small jaw? A small jaw provides a compact working end that can support precise positioning around appropriately sized vessels and within restricted surgical fields. 4. Why use a 60° angled vascular clamp? The 60° configuration can facilitate vascular access when the surgical anatomy requires an angled approach but a full 90° orientation is not preferred. 5. Is this Cooley clamp suitable for cardiovascular surgery? It may be incorporated into selected cardiovascular, vascular, and thoracic procedures requiring controlled vessel occlusion or manipulation. 6. What material is the Cooley Vascular Clamp made from? Professional reusable vascular clamps of this type are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. 7. How should the Cooley 60° Angled Clamp be sterilized? When supplied as a reusable instrument, it should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-processing protocol.
