DeBakey Vascular Dilator 9.0mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

This dilator is intended for controlled, atraumatic dilation of vascular lumens and vessel openings during vascular and endovascular procedures. It is used to expand arterial or venous access sites, create a smooth tract for graft or catheter placement, and to gently dilate arteriotomies or venotomies to facilitate instrument or conduit passage while minimizing endothelial trauma.

Design & Configuration

The straight, tapered geometry provides progressive enlargement from the distal atraumatic tip toward the shaft, allowing stepwise dilation with tactile feedback. The 19 cm overall length offers reach for peripheral and proximal vessel work while maintaining surgeon control. The rounded, non‑cutting tip reduces the risk of intimal abrasion during introduction and manipulation.
