Vascular dilators are cylindrical surgical instruments made of metal, plastic or other suitable material in various sizes and flexibilities, with distal tips of different shapes used to enlarge or calibrate vessels, and are placed over a guide wire to enlarge the opening in a vessel for percutaneous catheterization. These devices are used to dilate vessels to facilitate the introduction of catheters or cannulas during endovascular procedures.
