Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for stabilization of a shunt relative to a bone. The apparatus includes a body member and a plurality of attachment members forming a part of the body member. Each of the attachment members are operable to receive a bone screw so as to secure the body member to the bone. A plurality of movable fingers are movably attached to the body member. The plurality of movable fingers are adapted to engage and stabilize various size shunts relative to the bone.

Abstract: A microvascular occluder produced from a suitable plastic, colored and/or transparent; including a pair of juxtapositionable legs secured together in clamping relation on a blood vessel between a base and a cuff slidable over the legs, in which the cuff is retained on the occluder, and in which an indicia scale can be incorporated on one or both of the legs, and in which the cuff can include magnetically-attractive material and be moved magnetically; and in which the occluder is readily sterilized through conventional procedures, and inexpensive to manufacture so that it is readily expendable after usage. An occluder holder comprising a tubular sleeve, longitudinally slotted for holding two occluders in spaced straddling relation on a blood vessel during microvascular anastomais.
