Clinical Application
This instrument is designed for controlled stripping and avulsion of incompetent superficial veins during varicose vein surgery. It is used in conjunction with standard ligation techniques to remove segments of the great or small saphenous vein via small incisions and subcutaneous tunneling. The device facilitates atraumatic passage through the venous lumen and controlled traction to deliver the targeted vein segment for extraction.
Design & Configuration
The Nabatoff configuration features an atraumatic olive-shaped tip that engages the venous lumen while minimizing intimal injury during withdrawal. The shaft geometry provides sufficient flexibility to follow the normal course of superficial veins, while transmitting axial traction from the ergonomic handle. Packaged as a complete boxed set, the instrument provides the primary components required for standard stripping techniques and streamlines setup for the operating team.
