Cooley Vascular Dilator 2.0mm, 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of small-caliber vessels, this dilator is used to enlarge arteriotomies and venotomies and to facilitate the passage of cannulas, introducer sheaths or grafts during vascular and cardiothoracic procedures. The 2.0 mm tip diameter and 13 cm length make it suitable for work on peripheral and central vessels where a fine, atraumatic dilation is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a gradual, single-plane taper terminating in a smooth, rounded tip to minimize intimal injury during advancement. The 13 cm shaft provides sufficient reach for most intraoperative approaches while retaining precise tactile feedback. A smooth polished profile reduces snagging on vessel walls and aids atraumatic progression through the lumen.
