Product Description

The Harvesting Cannula has four lumens which house the endoscope, C-Ring, distal lens washer tube, and Harvesting Tool for cutting and cauterizing vessel branches. The Harvesting Tool has two curved jaws. One of the jaws contains the heating elements for branch cutting and cauterization and spot cautery. An area near the tip of the convex side of the jaw is used for spot cautery. The activation toggle is used to control the jaws to activate the heating elements. Positioning the device, cutting, and cauterization are performed under endoscopic visualization. The device is intended for specific use with the VASOVIEW HEMOPRO Power Supply, VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 extension cable, and an adapter cable.
