Abstract
An arterial cuff graft eversion instrument including a handle with a longitudinally straight wire extending distally from the handle distal end. The wire terminates at its distal end in a 'pig-tail' loop of a circular configuration. The open 'pig-tail' loop allows arterial cuff graft eversion without the need of suturing the end of the graft to the instrument prior to the eversion procedure.
