INDICATIONS
Flo-Resters are used to internally occlude blood vessels during anastomosis.
The occluder bulbs are inserted proximally and distally through the vessel
opening. The occluder bulbs allow a dry field to be maintained during the
anastomosis of a bypass graft or the suturing of two cut ends of a vessel. A
pull tab allows the Flo-Rester to be easily removed prior to the final sutures
being tied. Select the Flo-Rester size which is appropriate for the internal
diameter of the blood vessel.
DESCRIPTION
Flo-Resters are composed of two silicone rubber bulbs on the distal ends of
a flexible shaft. A tab on a tether is attached to the midpoint of the flexible
shaft, thus forming a "T" configuration. The Flo-Rester bulbs and pull tabs
are radiopaque.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Each surgeon is responsible for the proper procedure and technique to be
used with this device.
Before using the Flo-Rester, the bulbs must be carefully inspected to insure
secure attachment to the flexible shaft and that the Flo-Rester is in
satisfactory condition. Any questionable device must not be used.

I. HANDLING
Silicone elastomers used in the production of this product are among the
most nonreactive materials known for this application. Great care has
been taken to keep them free from contaminants such as dust, lint, oil, etc.
However, silicone attracts these contaminants readily; consequently the
package of the enclosed product should be opened in as clean an
atmosphere as can be provided.
