Frequently asked questions
Is this clamp specialized for cardiovascular surgery?
Yes, this Cooley-Derra Anastomosis Clamp is specifically designed for use in cardiovascular surgery.
Its primary function is the partial occlusion of major blood vessels (such as the carotid artery, aorta, and vena cava) during vascular anastomosis procedures to precisely control blood flow.
Key features supporting its specialized use include:
- Atraumatic Grip: It utilizes 2 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth with blunt, rounded tips, ensuring a delicate grip that minimizes damage to sensitive vessel walls.
- Double-Angled Curvature: This unique design facilitates easier access and manipulation in complex surgical fields.
Do the atraumatic teeth prevent vessel damage?
Yes, this specialized clamp is engineered for delicate cardiovascular procedures and features a working surface designed to minimize tissue trauma during occlusion.
- Atraumatic Design: The jaws incorporate 2 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth paired with blunt, rounded tips.
- Vessel Protection: This configuration ensures a secure, delicate grip on structures like the aorta, vena cava, or carotid artery, preventing mechanical damage to the fragile vessel walls while maintaining necessary control.
- Construction: The instrument is made from durable, reusable Stainless Steel.
Does the Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp arrive sterile?
The Sklar Cardiovascular Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp is provided in a non-sterile condition.
As a professional-grade, reusable surgical instrument made of stainless steel, it is intended for thorough reprocessing and sterilization before its initial use and prior to all subsequent procedures.
Which vital blood vessels does this clamp control?
The Sklar Cardiovascular Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp is specifically designed for the precise, partial occlusion of major blood vessels during anastomosis procedures in cardiovascular surgery.
It is intended to control the following critical vessels:
- Carotid artery
- Aorta
- Vena cava
The clamp’s working surface features 2 x 2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth to ensure a delicate, secure grip, minimizing potential trauma to the vascular tissue.
Is the Sklar Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp latex-free?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp is confirmed to be latex-free.
This crucial designation ensures that the instrument is safe for use across all patients, including those with latex sensitivities or allergies, eliminating a potential risk during critical cardiovascular procedures.
Does the double-angled curvature improve access?
Yes, the double-angled curvature is a critical design feature of this anastomosis clamp, specifically engineered to enhance surgical access and control.
This curvature provides significant benefits during complex cardiovascular procedures:
- Improved Maneuverability: The angles allow the instrument to navigate and reach vessels in deep or restricted surgical fields where standard straight clamps might be ineffective.
- Precise Placement: It facilitates accurate, partial occlusion of major vessels, including the carotid artery, aorta, and vena cava, which is essential during delicate anastomosis procedures.
Is the Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp durable and reusable?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp is built for exceptional durability and long-term utility.
- Material: It is crafted entirely from stainless steel, ensuring robust performance, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with rigorous, repeated sterilization cycles.
- Reusability: The instrument is explicitly designated as Reusable, offering long-term value.
- Condition: This instrument is supplied as Factory New and is covered by a Lifetime Warranty, affirming its quality and longevity.
Is durable stainless steel used?
Yes, the Sklar Cardiovascular Cooley Derra Anastomosis Clamp is crafted entirely from stainless steel.
This material is specifically chosen for its robust quality and long-term value, offering two key benefits:
- Reusable Performance: The stainless steel construction allows the instrument to withstand repeated sterilization and use in rigorous surgical environments.
- Durable Construction: This instrument is designed to be highly reliable and is sold as Factory New, backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
Does the clamp have a double-angled curvature?
Yes, the Sklar Cooley-Derra Anastomosis Clamp is specifically designed with a double-angled curvature.
This specialized configuration is engineered to provide:
- Optimal Access: It enhances maneuverability and visibility within the surgical field.
- Precise Control: It facilitates the accurate partial occlusion of major vessels (such as the aorta, vena cava, and carotid artery) necessary for delicate anastomosis procedures.
This design works alongside the 2x2 rows of fine, nontraumatic teeth to ensure a secure, damage-minimizing grip on fragile vessel walls.
