DeBakey Vascular Dilator 7.0mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled vessel dilation and atraumatic passage of wires, catheters, introducers, or conduits during open vascular and endovascular procedures. The 7.0 mm working diameter provides a predictable lumen expansion for peripheral arterial or venous access, graft preparation, and sequential dilation when upsizing introducers.

Design & Configuration

The long, slender taper and 19 cm overall length allow gradual dilation from the vessel ostium into deeper segments while keeping the surgeon's hand well away from the operative field. The DeBakey-style geometry emphasizes an atraumatic, rounded tip and smooth leading surface to minimize intimal disruption and reduce the risk of vessel spasm. A single-ended configuration simplifies handling and insertion through small incisions or introducer sheaths.
