ABSTRACT:
The anastomosis trimming device is used for trimming one end section of a tubular structure, such as a blood vessel or vascular graft, which is to be anastomosed, to provide the anastomotic end with a smooth, reproducible shape. The end is trimmed in such a manner as to mate with a similarly trimmed end of a second tubular structure or with an incision in the side of a second tubular structure. The device comprises first and second arms pivotably connected to each other at one end, with the first arm mounting a cutting die including a cutting element on a free end thereof. The cutting element faces toward the second arm, and the free end of the second arm mounts a mating element facing toward the first arm which, upon pivoting of the free ends of the first and second arm, mates with the cutting element on the first arm.
