Use the C-Ring Slider to advance the C-Ring and place it on
the vein. (Figure 22a) Moving distal to proximal, retract the
Harvesting Cannula down the tunnel.
Once a branch is encountered, keeping the C-Ring distal to
the branch (Figure 23b), advance the BiSECTOR™ tool
forward. (Figure 22b) Ensure that the BiSECTOR tool blade
is extended prior to capturing the branch – by moving the
side switch on the BiSECTOR Tool away to extend the
blade.
Rotate the BiSECTOR tool manually to orient the blade
upward for ease of visualization and branch capture.
(Figures 23a - 23b)
When the branch is captured, rotate the BiSECTOR tool
away from the vein, thereby adding slight tension to the
branch. Maintain a 3 – 5 mm distance from the main trunk of
the saphenous vein while activating the bipolar cautery for
1 – 2 second increments or until blanching of the vessel
branch occurs. (Figures 24) Transect the blanched area of
the vessel branch by retracting the slide switch on the
BiSECTOR tool.
Continue to inspect the surgical site for hemostasis.
Cauterize with the BiSECTOR tool as necessary to achieve
hemostasis, ensuring that the blade is not extended during
spot cautery.
