Nylon Suture Loop for Tagging Lymphatic Channels during Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis

Background Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) requires special supermicrosurgery techniques designed for vessels less than 0.8 mm in size. While preparing the field for LVA, it is often difficult to handle the lymphatic vessel directly without injuring it or fracturing it entirely.
