Retract-O-Tape® & SaddleLoop®
Vascular Loops
Retract-O-Tape® and SaddleLoop® are sealed silicone tubes that provide an air cushion for occluding or retracting vessels during surgery, with minimum trauma. All varieties maintain the round profile while providing necessary flexibility and are latex-free.
Our vascular loops are available both sterile and non-sterile through our manufacturing facility and all procedure kit suppliers.
Retract-O-Tape®
Air-Cushioned Vascular Loop

SaddleLoop®
For Robotic Surgery
Uniquely designed for robotic surgery, our SaddleLoop® is shorter than Retract-O-Tape® products. SaddleLoop® is perfect for minimally invasive procedures where manipulation is restricted and can be used within the confines of a heart stabilizer.
Features and benefits include:
- Radiopaque
- Single-loop occlusion recommended
- Atraumatic, soft, air-cushioned material
- Occludes without additional instruments
- Used with endoscopic surgery
- Unobtrusive in surgical field
- Precision-designed needle curvature
- Less expensive than shunts
- Ability to retract
- Blunt-tip 18G curved needle vascular loop, pre-attached
- Semi-pointed needle
SaddleLoop® Technique
Ensure distance "D" is greater than length "L"
Push needle through locking mechanism
Slightly stretch tubing to tighten before sliding into slot of keyhole locking mechanism
Materials
Our vascular loops are designed for minimally invasive procedures and are latex-free, with a surgical stainless steel needle and radiopaque silicone tubing.
Achieve Precise Aortic Incisions
Through decades of innovation, the PerfectCut® Aortotomy System has helped surgeons create precise aortic incisions. The bullet-tip punch is an ideal tool for intricate bypass surgeries, ensuring a consistent, uniform cut while reducing the chance of lateral side notches.
