DeBakey Vascular Dilator 2.5mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of small-caliber vessels and surgical tracts, this DeBakey vascular dilator is used to enlarge lumens and prepare access for cannulas, shunts, catheters and fine vascular instruments. The 2.5 mm diameter is suitable for peripheral and small-vessel work encountered in procedures such as peripheral arterial repair, vein harvesting, arteriovenous fistula creation, and microvascular exposure where atraumatic handling of the intima is essential.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s slender, tapered profile concentrates dilation force at the tip and transitions smoothly along the shaft, reducing focal stress on vessel walls and limiting intimal disruption. A DeBakey-style atraumatic tip geometry provides a blunt, smooth surface to separate tissue planes rather than cut, supporting controlled, tactile dilation with precise advancement. The 19 cm length gives reach for deeper peripheral or field-access sites while maintaining surgeon control for fine maneuvers.

Instrument Specifications
