Cooley Atraumatic Tissue Forceps

Description

Cooley Atraumatic Tissue Forceps

Cooley tissue forceps carry 2 mm atraumatic tips on a slim thumb-forceps body. The tips hold vessels firmly without crushing the wall.

2 mm atraumatic tips

Fine teeth in rows line the tips and mesh together. So the forceps hold a vessel edge without tearing it.

Slim body

The arms narrow toward the tips, which keeps your view open. Also, a ribbed grip steadies your fingers.

Choosing a length

Pick 15 or 16 cm for open vascular work. Meanwhile, choose 20 cm for deeper work in the chest.

Who uses them

Cardiac and vascular surgeons use this pattern during anastomosis. Also, general surgeons use it on delicate bowel and ducts. Cooley forceps pair well with DeBakey forceps on a cardiovascular tray. The 2 mm tips suit fine vessels, while the slim body keeps sight lines clear. Plus, the lengths let you match the forceps to the depth of the field. Many teams keep a 16 cm and a 20 cm pair together. Both lengths share the same 2 mm tip profile, so a surgeon can switch between them without changing technique.

Reprocessing Cooley tissue forceps

Flush the tips promptly, since dried blood clings to fine teeth. Next, brush along the tooth rows and rinse again. Then dry the forceps and check the tips meet evenly.
