What is a surgical vascular loop?
Surgical vascular loops are disposable medical items that are manufactured from high-quality medical-grade silicone. These products are made in the form of strips and with an oval cross-section. They are produced in different colors, one of which is the red vascular loop, which we will introduce below.
Functions and their advantages
Surgical vascular loops are used to identify, block, and contract veins, nerves, ureters, and tendons. For a lot of reasons, including familiarity and ease of use, many surgeons prefer to use them. Also, these loops have the least tissue damage.
In addition to minimal tissue damage, these loops hold the artery closed and up so make the anastomosis suture easier. These products are designed using a radiopaque material for X-ray visibility in cases where there is a possibility of it remaining in the surgical site.
The most important functions of them include the following:
- Separating and marking arteries, veins, nerves, tendons, and ureter
- Blocking vessels for a better view of the surgeon from the operation site
- Making a non-invasive contraction with low and appropriate pressure
Types of AJP surgical vascular loops
This product is produced in different colors including red, yellow, green, and blue with different thicknesses and oval cross-sections. Different colors are used in different surgeries such as orthopedics, cardiology, general surgeries, hand, microsurgery, etc.
The most common use of this product is the separation and identification of tissues based on the colors of the loops. The standard colors for identification are as follows:
- Red surgical vascular loop is generally used to isolate and hold the artery in operations.
- Blue surgical vascular loop is mostly used to isolate and hold the vein in various surgeries.
- Yellow surgical vascular loop is usually used to isolate the nerve and tendon in related operations.
- Green surgical vascular loop is usually used to isolate veins, ureter or ligaments in surgery.
Requirements of design
- High elasticity
- Minimal tissue damage
- Different colors to avoid the possibility of misdiagnosis
- It should be detectable by radiography
The unique features of AJP vascular loops
- Radiopaque silicone strips for identification and guidance in radiography
- By looping and stretching, they can be tightened enough to block the blood flow in the vessels and the anastomosis site becomes bloodless and helps the surgeon to see better.
- Different thicknesses and sizes
- Oval cross-section with diameters of 5 * 1.4 mm
- Length: 45 cm
- Sterilization by ethylene oxide gas
- Long shelf life
- Expiration: 3 years after production
- Design of support bases for ease of use by the surgical team
