An anastomosis cuff (53, 122) for performing a vascular anastomosis procedure includes a ridge (55) of material that extends in the radial direction. The ridge (55) can be easily grasped with forceps or a hemostat to immobilize the cuff (53, 122) during an anastomosis procedure. Alternately, the anastomosis cuff (53, 122) can be grasped between gripping fingers of a manipulator tool designed to surround the cuff such that the ridge (55) is trapped between and grasped by the gripping fingers.
