Use of a tunneling device to aid in positioning of a graft.
A tunneling device can be used to ensure easy placement of a prosthetic or autogenous graft. This can be done without the danger of the graft twisting, kinking or having the clips and ties pulled off. The often frustrating problem of ensuring that the arterial graft lies properly in position can be greatly simplified with the use of this technique.
