Fetzer Medical vessel dilators are devices used to enlarge or calibrate a vessel during cardiovascular surgery.

Fetzer Medical Vessel Dilators are reusable manual surgical instruments. They are rod-like devices with a long, slender, solid shaft and a distal tip of various shapes and sizes. They are sold unsterile and can be reused (cleaned and sterilized) according the instructions for use. There are several types of dilators made from stainless steel or aluminum: - Cooley Coronary Dilators - Cooley Vessel Dilators - Garrett Vascular Dilators - Hiebert Vascular Dilators - DeBakey Vascular Dilators - Sarns-Style Dilators - Myocardial Dilators These dilators are available in a range of different length and diameters. The handle of the DeBakey Vascular Dilator, the Cooley Vessel Dilator, the Cooley Coronary Dilator, the Hiebert Vascular Dilator and the Garrett Vascular Dilator is textured with one site flat. The handles of the Sarns and Myocardial Dilators are smooth. The Myocardial Dilator has a flat distal end for holding it and the Sarns Dilator has a hollow handle at the distal end. Apart from the Hiebert Vascular Dilator and the Myocardial Dilator, the handle is connected to a thin shaft. The diameter of the shaft of the different dilator types varies. The shaft of the Cooley Coronary Dilator, the Cooley Vessel Dilator, The Garrett Vascular Dilator and the DeBakey Vascular Dilator can be thin so that the shaft is flexible. The handle of the Myocardial Dilator has no shaft while the Hiebert Vascular Dilator is double-ended; it possesses two flexible shafts, with the handle located in between the two thin shafts. The tips of all dilators have the aim to enlarge a vessel. The design of the Sarns and Myocardial Dilator is similar to an elephant's tusk. The diameter increases steadily, moving towards the handle's direction. The tips of the other Dilators are olive-shaped. The Cooley Coronary Dilator possesses no formed tip. For all dilators, the penetrating diameter corresponds to the diameter of the shaft. The Hiebert Vascular Dilators working elements are each malleable wires with an olive tip in different diameters.
