New instrumentation for autovenous graft preparation

Abstract

We consider traumatization of the autovenous graft to be the main disadvantage of the known methods of autovenous graft extraction. We have developed instruments for subcutaneous extraction and gentle treatment of autovenous grafts, description and results of their use are given below. For subcutaneous extraction of autovenous grafts we offer an instrument developed by us - atraumatic vein extractor.
