Cooley Vascular Dilator 1.5mm, 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of small-caliber vessels, this dilator is intended to assist in preparing vessel lumens for anastomosis, passage of probes, guidewires, sutures or intraluminal devices, and for atraumatic introduction of cannulas during vascular and cardiothoracic procedures. The 1.5 mm tip size is appropriate for delicate peripheral and small coronary-sized vessels where precise, low-profile dilation is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s tapered dilator geometry enables gradual, controlled enlargement of the vessel lumen while minimizing radial stress on the vessel wall. A slim 1.5 mm leading tip permits accurate targeting of small ostia and anastomotic sites; the 13 cm overall length provides adequate reach into the operative field while maintaining tactile control. A smooth, continuous taper reduces resistance during insertion and withdrawal, facilitating atraumatic handling and easier passage of adjunct devices such as probes or grafts.
