GEM Coupler:
(microvascular anastomotic coupling system)
MICROVASCULAR ANASTOMOTIC COUPLER
Shown to be a fast method for Microvascular Anastomosis
The Microvascular Anastomotic COUPLER System has been specifically designed for use in the anastomosis of veins and arteries normally encountered in microsurgical procedures. The COUPLER is intended for use with veins and arteries having an outside diameter no smaller than 0.8mm and no larger than 4.3mm and a wall thickness of 0.5mm or less.
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The Microvascular Anastomotic COUPLER Device is intended to be used in the anastomosis of veins and arteries normally encountered in microsurgical procedures only in the peripheral vascular system. The Microvascular Anastomotic COUPLER Device is intended for use with veins and arteries having an outside diameter no smaller than 0.8 mm and no larger than 4.3 mm and a wall thickness of 0.5 mm or less. The degree of vessel spasm and the elasticity of the vessel should be considered when choosing the COUPLER Device size to be used. Use a Vessel Measuring Gauge to approximate the OUTER diameter of the vessel for selection of an appropriate COUPLER Device size.
