<p>A microvascular occluder (10) produced from a suitable plastic, colored and/or transparent; including a pair of juxtapositionable legs (18, 20) secured together in clamping relation on a blood vessel between a base (12) and a cuff (16) slidable over the legs, in which the cuff is retained on the occluder, and in which an indicia scale (34) can be incorporated on one or both of the legs, and in which the cuff can contain magnetically-attractive material and can be moved magnetically; and in which the occluder is readily sterilized through conventional procedures, and inexpensive to manufacture so that it is readily expendable after usage. An occluder holder comprising a tubular sleeve (40) having a longitudinal slot (42) for holding two occluders in spaced straddling relation on a blood vessel during microvascular anastomosis.</p> |
