## Indications for use
The VASOVIEW 6 PRO System is indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass. It is indicated for cutting tissue and controlling bleeding through coagulation, and for patients requiring blunt dissection of tissue including dissection of blood vessels, dissection of blood vessels of the extremities, dissection of ducts and other structures in the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection/vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein for use in coronary artery bypass grafting and peripheral artery bypass or radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grafting. Thoracoscopic procedures include exposure and dissection of structures external to the parietal pleura,, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall. The VASOSHIELD Pressure Controlling Syringe is. indicated for controlling pressure during the preparation and irrigation of blood vessels prior to use as a bypass graft.
