Description

The Vessel Dilator – Straight Pattern is a fine instrument used during vascular and microvascular procedures to open and gently enlarge a blood vessel. It can be used while preparing a vessel for anastomosis, graft insertion, and other reconstructive work. The instrument has a slim straight form, with the working tip running directly in line with the handle.

The working end has a 0.2 mm straight tip with a gradual taper towards the point. The tip is very fine compared with the rest of the instrument and is intended for work inside small vessel openings. Its straight shape keeps the tip in the same line as the shaft, without the bend found on an angled vessel dilator.

The slender body extends from the fine tip into the handle and remains narrow along most of its length. The instrument measures 13.5 cm / 5⅜” overall. The handle has a 7 mm width and a simple, balanced shape that is easy to hold while keeping the narrow working end visible during delicate vascular work.

During vascular surgery, the dilator can be introduced into the vessel lumen before an anastomosis or graft is placed. It is used to open the vessel gradually during preparation, particularly when working with small vessels under magnification. The straight working end can be brought directly towards the vessel opening when there is enough room for a straight approach.

The surgical stainless steel construction gives the instrument a firm, fine working end and smooth metal surface. The tip and shaft form one continuous piece, with no moving parts along the instrument. Before dispatch, every piece goes through our quality inspection process. Our quality inspectors examine the 0.2 mm tip, taper, shaft alignment, handle, and surface finish before the instrument is packed.

The Vessel Dilator – Straight Pattern measures 13.5 cm / 5⅜” and has a 0.2 mm straight tapered tip. Its narrow body and straightforward design make it suitable for preparing small blood vessels during vascular and microvascular procedures where a direct approach to the vessel is required.
