“…Vessel loops are disposable medical device made of an elastomer of polysiloxane (silicone rubber) available in multiple colors. 3 The most common use of a vessel loop is the identification of arterial and venous vessels, peripheral nerves, and tendons. 3 However, it can be used for atraumatic retraction, to deliver a nerve through a tunnel for nerve coaptation, to temporarily close fasciotomy wounds, or can be used as a finger tourniquet.…”

Certainly, the latex from which gloves are made of provides a waterproof vessel with almost the same friction coefficient of silicone ( Fig.…”

With the continuous incorporation of new technologies and advancements in surgical technique, microsurgical procedures around the world have generated a higher success rate and innovative procedures are now possible. In this setting, limitations regarding accessibility and acquisition of medical resources and equipment for these types of operations may be difficult in developing countries. We believe the dexterities of surgeons go beyond the surgical technique, meaning that we are able to use everyday materials to re-create affordable solutions that can be used during surgery in a safe way. This manuscript presents our experience with different surgical instruments and gadgets, developed out of necessity, to improve microsurgical interventions in developing countries.

“…They can be tightened adequately to stop the blood flow in the vessel so that bloodless field aids in the perfect anastomosis. 4,5 Between 2016 and 2019 we had 265 patients, referred to Hasheminejad Kidney Center for creating Arteriovenous fistula (AVF). According to physical examination and Doppler ultrasound the best site for creating distal Radiocephalic, proximal radiocephalic, radioantecubital AVFs was chosen by one vascular access surgeon.…”
