Description
Summary:Sir, Vessel loops are disposable, single-use medical device made of soft silicone rubber having multiple uses in different surgical specialties. Identification of structures - artery, vein, nerve, tendonEnd-to-side or side-to-side vascular anastomosisAtraumatic retraction on perforator during its dissectionDelivery of nerve through a tunnel for coaptationSmall loops of vessel loops are used for retraction on nerve, vessels for endoscopic proceduresClosure of fasciotomy woundsFinger Tourniquet. Apart from these uses in plastic surgery, vessel loops are used in other surgical specialties-gynaecology (ensuring the patency during LeFort colpocleisis),[4] paediatric/general surgery (incision and drainage with vessel loops).
