The Microvascular Anastomotic COUPLER System is a mechanical method for anastomosis of small vessels ranging in size from 0.8 mm to 4.3 mm in outer diameter. Quick and reliable, the COUPLER is ideal for use in end-to-end vessel anastomosis, and end-to-side vessel anastomosis.
In addition to saving time and money the COUPLER provides an intima-to-intima anastomosis with no foreign material exposed to the blood flow surface. The vessel is also stented open at the anastomotic site, which may reduce the chance of thrombosis observed when traditional suturing is used.
