7 1/2" Debakey Vascular Dilator 5.0mm tip

Controlled Access for Vascular and General Surgical Workflows

The 7 1/2" Debakey Vascular Dilator 5.0mm tip is a dilator designed to support controlled enlargement and assessment of openings during vascular and general surgical procedures. Its 5.0mm tip provides a defined working dimension, while the 7 1/2" overall length supports access and handling within the operative field. As part of the Dilator & Probes category, it can fit workflows requiring deliberate advancement, passage assessment, or preparation of an opening. The instrument’s named DeBakey vascular design makes it relevant to cardiovascular applications while remaining suitable for approved general surgery use where a vascular dilator is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Support controlled dilation and passage assessment in cardiovascular procedures.
• Use during general surgery workflows that require a vascular dilator.
• Apply the 5.0mm tip when a defined dilator dimension is appropriate to the task.
• Use the 7 1/2" length to support instrument handling and access within the operative field.
