LeMaitre® Valvulotome

The LeMaitre Valvulotome is a device that cuts venous valves during vascular procedures such as:

• In Situ Peripheral Bypass
• Non-Reversed Translocated Bypass
• Coronary Artery Bypass
• Arterio-venous Fistula Creation

Hydrophilic Coating allows for easier insertion and enhanced trackability through the vein with minimized potential for intimal damage. 

1.5 mm Diameter offers more effective cutting in small vessels. 

Wide Blade Range of 1.5-6.0 mm offers valve cutting in smaller diameter veins while retaining its ability to cut valves in larger diameter vessels. 

3 Green Safety Stripes of increasing size give warning of the position of the cutting blades, thereby maximizing the time the device is open and able to cut the last set of valves. 

Depth Markings allow for marking the approximate location of the tributaries as the valves are cut. 

LeMills Valvulotome included to cut the last set of valves as needed.
