DeBakey Vascular Dilator 2.0mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is used to dilate small-caliber vessels and to facilitate atraumatic introduction of cannulas, catheters, or guidewires during vascular, peripheral vascular and endovascular procedures. The slim 2.0 mm tip allows controlled enlargement of a vessel lumen for maneuvers such as vessel loop placement, direct vessel cannulation, and preparation for graft or shunt insertion where precise, low‑trauma dilation is required.

Design & Configuration

The tapered dilator profile delivers gradual radial expansion to the vessel with minimal shear, reducing tissue trauma during access. The 19 cm overall length provides reach for both superficial and deeper field applications while maintaining manual control. The atraumatic, smooth taper reduces risk of intimal injury compared with sharper instruments and helps guide over wires or through small ostia during staged dilation or exchange techniques.
