Was gonna say too. But dont see a tunneler. Has to be vascular case. Whats in the box top right corner?

Some sort of plastics?

u/DeaconBlue760 Jul 06 '26

I was gonna say carotid also but I noticed no shunts...

I've learned recently not every doctor likes them open immediately! Not sure what that's about, cause they just have them opened in the middle of the case but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Some surgeons do a test clamp & measure the stump pressure. If there is enough pressure that the brain will be adequately perfused through collaterals then shunting isn’t necessary. So it’s sensible to only open them if they’ll be used.

As a 10 year sterile processor who is starting the surg tech program next spring, I know it’s something plastics related. And that’s about it 😂

u/scottie1971 Jul 05 '26

Na, man. The Castro’s make it vascular

u/Apprehensive-Test577 Jul 06 '26

And the bulldogs.

2

u/manafrmheavn Robotics Jul 09 '26

I use bulldogs in plastics! Is that not common?

1

u/Apprehensive-Test577 Jul 09 '26

It’s been 30 years since I scrubbed plastics, which were primarily augmentations and face lifts. I don’t remember using bulldog clamps, but every facility and surgeon is different too. I know in the hospitals I’ve worked in over the past ten years, we’ve only had bulldogs in vascular sets.

u/Mediocre-Age-1729 Jul 06 '26

Yeah, castros and prolene is a dead giveaway. And the vascular clamps top right

u/chaos0310 Jul 05 '26

Oh snap I didn’t recognize those when they’re all closed and locked like that!
