Cooley Atrauma Cardiovascular Forceps

Description

Cooley Atrauma Cardiovascular Forceps

Cooley cardiovascular forceps carry atraumatic jaws and come sized by Charrière, or French, number. Pick the size that matches the tube or cannula your team uses.

Sized by French number

Each size carries a Charrière number from 24 to 36. So pick the Charr. number that suits the tube or cannula on your field. Also, keeping several numbers on hand covers different circuit setups.

16 cm or 20 cm

The 16 cm length stays nimble in a shallow field. By contrast, the 20 cm length keeps your hand clear of a deeper opening. Then choose the pairing that suits your usual approach.

Atraumatic grip

Atraumatic jaws spread pressure so they hold without biting. That matters around vessels and soft tubing alike. Plus, a gentle grip lets staff reposition the instrument without marking what it holds.

Building a set

Cardiac teams often keep the common French numbers together in one tray. In that case, the full run of Cooley cardiovascular forceps from 24 to 36 saves hunting for a size. However, smaller units may only need the two or three sizes they use most.

Reprocessing Cooley cardiovascular forceps

Rinse the jaws soon after the case, before protein can set. Then clean the hinge area with a soft brush and check that the tips still meet evenly. Finally, dry each size and keep the French sizes grouped on the tray.
