- A comprehensive set of six double-ended, highly specialized vascular surgical instruments, it is considered the gold-standard tray for ambulatory phlebectomy
Uses
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy (Microphlebectomy):
- Removing diseased, subcutaneous varicose vein segments or large branch varicosities through micro-incisions
- Tissue Dissection and Mobilization:
- Separating the target vein from surrounding soft subcutaneous tissue and fascial attachments prior to extraction
- Controlled Vein Elevation:
- Hooking and exteriorizing (bringing to the surface) the isolated varix loop so it can be clamped and safely avulsed (pulled out) proximally and distally
Features
- 6-Piece All-Inclusive Array:
- The kit bundles six distinctly sized, double-ended surgical hooks and spatulas to adapt to varying vein diameters and tortuosity:
- 10305: Dissecting Spatula (Double-Ended, 1.9 mm & 2.9 mm ends; 7" length
- 10306: Large Ball-Tip Hook & 1.9 mm Spatula (7" length)
- 10307: Medium Crochet-Style Hook & 1.7 mm Spatula (7" length)
- 10308: Micro Spatula (Double-Ended, 0.7 mm & 1.2 mm ends; 6¾" length)
- 10309: Micro Hook (1.3 mm) & 0.7 mm Spatula (6¾" length)
- 10310: Small Hook (1.5 mm) & 1.1 mm Spatula (6¾" length)
- Double-Ended Design:
- Combining a specialized hook on one side and a dissecting spatula on the other drastically reduces the need to constantly switch instruments mid-procedure
- Hexagonal Ergonomic Handles:
- Features a solid, geometric hexagonal handle section that optimizes rotational control, prevents rolling on surgical trays, and mitigates hand fatigue
- German Stainless Steel Manufacturing:
- Forged out of high-grade German stainless steel to provide extreme tactile durability and edge retention
Benefits
- Superior Cosmetic Results:
- The minute, ultra-precise tips of the hooks allow surgeons to operate through micro incisions (often just 1 to 2 mm wide), requiring no stitches and leaving virtually unnoticeable scars
- Minimized Endothelial and Tissue Trauma:
- Using the blunt spatulas to separate the vein before applying upward traction minimizes the pulling force required, reducing patient bruising and preventing localized hematomas.
- Optimized Clinical Control:
- The variations in hook depth (from micro to large) prevent accidental saphenous nerve clipping or deep fascia tears by allowing the clinician to pick the exact tool that fits the vessel depth
- Excellent Lifetime ROI:
- Built as a reusable, non-sterile kit designed to undergo rigorous hospital autoclaving cycles repeatedly without rusting or losing material integrity
