Collection: Vessel Dialator

Indications include enlarging or calibrating vessels during coronary artery bypass grafting, angioplasty, or other microsurgical procedures; locating vessel orifices; tracing abnormal vessel courses; and performing intraluminal maneuvers to evaluate or prepare the vessel.

They are typically made from ASTM F 899 surgical stainless steel, providing durability and corrosion resistance. Some manufacturers also offer titanium versions for lighter weight and reduced magnetic interference, so it is important to consult the manufacturer for details on these specialized instruments.

Yes. Vessel dilators come in various lengths, diameters and tip shapes (e.g., olive, straight or angled) to match the vessel size and surgical procedure. Surgeons select a model based on the anatomy they are working with.

Dilators are reusable forceps with slender, often olive‑shaped tips. They are inserted into the vessel lumen to gently stretch or locate the orifice, trace the vessel course, and measure the annulus or lumen diameter without causing trauma.

A vessel dilator is a surgical instrument used to enlarge or calibrate small blood vessels. It is commonly employed to verify patency during coronary artery bypass, angioplasty and other vascular procedures.
