Description:

For use in by-pass operation for segmental occlusive disease of the iliac and femoral arteries. This instrument is designed with a slightly malleable stainless steel bar with a handle on one end and an olive tip dilator on the other. This blunt end, introduced through one of the incisions, is inserted through the subcutaneous tissue into the other incision. A by-pass graft end is then attached by a simple ligature to the olive tip end which is withdrawn, pulling the graft through the subcutaneous tunnel connecting the two incisions.
