For many surgeons, the aortic punch is the perfect anastomotic device. Quest Medical offers surgeons a wide variety of aortic punches, including a unique aortotomy system that is ideal for creation of uniform openings at the aortotomy site for vein grafts, it’s called the PerfectCut®. The PerfectCut system is designed to create a precise, consistent, reliable, repeatable incision and circular hole that eliminates lateral side notches from the aortotomy. The PerfectCut and CleanCut® punches produce uniform openings at the anastomotic site using a rotating, self-aligning cutter mechanism and cutting action, therefore requiring less force.
