These Vascular Occluders are for restricting or occluding the flow of liquid in a vessel. These Occluders are made entirely of silicone rubber, a material proven to be physiologically compatible. The occluder is a cuff and tube design. The cuff is secured around the vessel or soft tissue organ using suture material. The tube is externalized to the animal at the desired site. The site need not be near the occlusion location To occlude the vessel, simply inject air or water int the actuating tubing with a syringe. This inflates the cuff diaphragm which occludes teh vessel. To deflate, simply withdraw the air or water. The response is very rapid and may be maintained for several hours or as long as the occluder is pressurized. Occlusion is accomplished without traction on the vessel or displacement of surrounding tissues

Both standard and heavy-duty occluders are offered. they are supplied wiht a 90 cm actuating tubing. Other length tubing are available by special order. Tubing diameter depends on the cuff size. For cuffs measuring from 2 mm to 8 mm, the tubing measures 0.76 mm ID x 1.6 mm OD (0.030 x 0.065 in). For cuffs measuring from 10 mm to 24 mm, the tubing measures 1 mm ID x 2.1 mm OD (0.040 x 0.086 in).
