Silastic tube relay rod

摘要: The invention relates to a technique and instrument comprising relay rod for performing subcutaneous placement of silastic tubing or vascular grafts from incisions in different parts the body, more particularly, peritoneovenous shunts peripheral arterial bypass. rod, which is rigid non-toxic material, comprises receptor bore near tip its head threading through end tube graft. A pair longitudinally-extended grooves, distal bore, accommodate portions graft, are secured place parallel axis by ties rest circumferential grooves upper lower ends longitudinal grooves. end-portion shaft striated handle facilitate gripping. with graft thereon, passed subcutaneously between body. When traverse has been completed, removed, allowing be removed latter tunnel.
