Provides temporary carotid bypass for cerebral circulation during carotid endarterectomy procedures. Silicone elastomer with stainless steel reinforcement minimizes kinking and occlussion of cannula lumen. Cone shaped bulbs facilitate fixation of the shunt to the vessel. Often, distal tourniquet not required. If proper shunt size is selected, the bulb fits. Sundt Carotid Endarterectomy Shunts are the original non-traumatic silicone shunts designed for use during carotid endarterectomy procedures. The soft cone-shaped bulb allows secure clamp placement. Clear tubing permits visualization of blood flow. Stainless steel spring reinforcement is tightly wound to resist kinking. The original Sundt Carotid Endarterectomy Shunts are available in three sizes of each of two basic designs. An additional configuration has been added to the product offering, featuring a 1cm non-reinforced segment to facilitate occlusion of the device by clamping. Each device incorporates advanced silicone manufacturing technology, and has been designed and developed in cooperation with leading neurovascular surgeons. Integra?s carotid endarterectomy shunts feature soft silicone elastomer tubing with rounded edges, making the device less likely to damage the endothelium or to loosen and dislodge plaque during insertion or removal. The variety of styles and sizes ensure the availability of the appropriate shunt based on surgical technique as well as the physiology of each patient. All shunts provide temporary carotid bypass for cerebral circulation during carotid endarterectomy.
