LeMaitre - Valvulotome
From Lower Extremity
The 1.5 mm diameter and hydrophilic coating allow for easier insertion and enhanced trackability through the vein in a more atraumatic fashion. The blade 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 innovative device uses unique self-sizing, self-centering hoops for well positioned, clean valve cutting, decreased wound necrosis, and faster patient recovery. Smooth Sailing in Small Vessels(1).
