Also called Graft sizers
Single-use plastic sizers, each an open C-shaped ring on a flat tab, with the size in millimeters molded on the tab. The ring is fitted around or against the host vessel to pick the graft diameter. Sizers come as a small set and a large set on breakaway runners.
Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Picking the right tube-graft diameter in aortic surgery. Graft sizers are used with the tube grafts and valved conduits for ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection repair. In valve-sparing root work the circle that holds all three commissures is sized with a transparent valve sizer (Toronto SPV type) to set the graft diameter.
