Cooley Vascular Dilator 2.5mm, 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in open and hybrid vascular procedures, this dilator provides controlled, progressive dilation of small-caliber vessels and anastomotic sites. The 2.5 mm tip size is suitable for pediatric or small adult vessels and for preparing vessel lumens for graft insertion, catheter introduction, or passage of cannulas. It is also used to ease vessel spasm and to establish a smooth tract prior to sutured anastomosis.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's tapered geometry allows gradual enlargement of the vessel lumen with minimal shearing force. A smooth, atraumatic taper reduces intimal injury during dilation and promotes gentle separation of vessel walls. The 13 cm overall length gives adequate reach in most peripheral and central exposure fields while retaining tactile feedback for precise control during progressive dilation.
