Description

The Vessel Dilator – Curved 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 curved working end that sits slightly away from the line of the handle.

The working end has a 0.2 mm curved tip with a fine tapered shape. The tip becomes narrower towards the end and is made for entry into small vessel openings. The curved profile makes a difference when the vessel is positioned at an angle or when a straight approach is difficult within the working area.

The instrument has a slender body with a 9 mm wide flat handle. It measures 13.5 cm / 5⅜” overall, with most of the length taken up by the narrow shaft. The handle remains relatively flat rather than bulky, while the curved working end gives the instrument its main difference from the straight pattern.

During vascular surgery, the dilator can be introduced into the vessel lumen while preparing the vessel for anastomosis or graft placement. The fine tip can be worked gradually into the opening before the vessel is joined or reconstructed. The curved working end can also be useful when the vessel is not directly in line with the operator’s hand or when space around the vessel is limited.

The surgical stainless steel construction gives the instrument a firm, fine working end with a smooth metal surface. The shaft, tip, and handle form one continuous instrument with no moving parts. Before dispatch, every piece goes through our quality inspection process. Our quality inspectors examine the 0.2 mm tip, curve, taper, shaft alignment, 9 mm handle, and surface finish before the instrument is packed.
