## Indications for use
The Chase Blood Vessel Shunt is intended to be used to internally shunt blood vessels during anastomosis. The shunt bulbs allow a dry field to be maintained during a vessel anastomosis procedure. The shunt also allows blood to be delivered distally past the anastomosis during vessel repair. The blood vessel shunt is easily removed prior to the final sutures being tied. Select the blood vessel shunt which is appropriate for the internal diameter of the blood vessel.
