InvaCUT
The InvaCUT Valvulotome is a device that cuts venous valves during vascular procedures such as:
• In Situ Peripheral Bypass
• Non-Reversed Translocated Bypass
• Coronary Artery Bypass
• Arterio-venous Fistula Creation
Benefits of the Expandable Invacut Valvulotome:
Wide blade range: a smaller diameter of 1.5 mm and a blade range of 1.5 to 6.0 mm allows for effective valve cutting without changing blades or instruments. Vein valve cutter is used for the atraumatic incision of vein valves as a preparatory step in in-situ bypass surgery. The wide range of 1.5 mm - 6.0 mm diameter provides valve cutting in smaller diameter veins while retaining its ability to cut valves in larger diameter vessels. This is striking device uses unique self-sizing, self-centering hoops for well positioned, clean valve cutting, decreased wound necrosis, and faster patient recovery.
Self-sizing, self-centering hoops support optimal valve cutting.
PTFE sheath keeps blades closed during atraumatic insertion, facilitating a smooth advancement to the proximal anastomosis.
Irrigation port enables saline injection to ease device passage.
The Over-the-Wire Invacut Valvulotome is an innovative device that uses unique self-sizing, self-centering hoops for well-positioned clean valve cutting, decreased wound necrosis, and faster patient recovery.
Special design blades offers valve cutting in smaller diameter veins while retaining its ability to cut valves in larger diameter vessels.
Hydrophilic Coating Decreases Resistance Forces
No damage to the endothelium and intima
Excellent handling and manoeuvrability
Fits over a standard .014" guidewire for enhanced trackability over traditional valvulotomes.
Offers more effective cutting in small vessels.
Side port enables saline injection to ease device passage.
No memory effect, therefore no pressure against the wall of the vessel
Minimal space is required on the instrument table
InvaCUT can be introduced directly from the dispenser into the vessel
Highest possible security for surgeons and patients
