Product Overview

AV Sheath Tunneler
AV Sheath Tunneler - AVST3000


Device Description

A long, surgical instrument used to tunnel an artificial passageway along vascular tissue planes to create a connecting channel typically for the introduction of a vascular graft or a vascular prosthesis. It can have a variety of designs, but basically it will be a long, round, stiff rod that tapers to a rounded point at the distal tip and have a handle at the proximal end to allow the surgeon to exert the necessary pressure and manipulation to push it through the body tissue. It will typically be made of high-grade stainless steel and possibly other materials for the handle, which may be detachable. This is a reusable device.
