Vascular Graft Tunneler Instrumentation
Getinge's Tunneler Instrumentation is designed to minimize tunnel size to meet graft diameter, resulting in a smaller tunnel and less soft tissue trauma compared to larger diameter sheath systems. [1]
The Vascular Graft Tunneling System is designed to create a subcutaneous tunnel for the placement of a vascular graft in both peripheral and AV access applications. The Tunneler System can also be used with a graft that does not feature a Slider Graft Deployment System (GDS). The Tunneler System and its components are made of surgical-grade stainless steel and are designed for multiple reuse when properly maintained.
The Tunneler System comes with 4 Tunneler rod configurations to accommodate both AV Access loop graft placement and bypass graft placement.
The Tunneler System is designed to interface with the SLIDER GDS and:
- minimize tunnel size to meet graft diameter, resulting in a smaller tunnel and less soft tissue trauma compared to larger diameter sheath systems. [1]
- Tunneler rod handles are knurled for better gripping and are equipped with a direction tab to increase control in tunnel placement.
An assortment of blunt and pointed tips are available.
Peer reviewed published data supporting the clinical benefits observed by physicians who have used the Vascular Graft Tunneling System is available upon request. [1]
Tunneling tips feature a large grasping area for easier manipulation.
Creates a tighter tunnel to match graft diameter.
Unique thumb tab provides directional control.
