Device type (GMDN): Intravascular anastomosis occluder

A device designed to temporarily occlude the flow of blood in the lumen of a blood vessel at a vascular anastomosis, primarily to control bleeding and enable operative field visualization during coronary or peripheral vascular bypass grafting and vessel repair surgery. It is typically designed as a flexible shaft with dilated/bulbous ends that is entirely inserted into the vessel lumen via a small incision at the surgical site to arrest blood flow at the anastomosis; it will typically have an external tab or tether used for its removal. It is typically made of silicone elastomer and polyester radiopaque materials and is available in a range of diameters. This is a single-use device.
