Abstract
For a number of centuries, the problem of bleeding arrest from damaged vessels remains the major issue of surgery (alongside with infectious complications and fight against the pain syndrome). The development of vascular surgery began exactly when bleeding from a damaged vessel was arrested by tying it, and the introduction of reconstructive vascular surgery, being one of the most outstanding achievements of the 20th century, was the peak of creation. With the advent and development of this relatively young branch of clinical surgery, it became possible to effectively help patients with various vascular pathologies, previously considered incurable and doomed to death. However, the development of each industry is necessarily associated with the development of technical support. The lack of high-quality suture material and instruments has restrained the development of reconstructive vascular surgery for a long time; this fact forced researchers and surgeons to develop techniques for the seamless connection of blood vessels. Despite the widespread use of manual surgical suture, it is not always possible to use this option due to altered vascular walls. Development of technology for manufacturing synthetic materials allowed for techniques providing fast and high-quality connection of blood vessels, significantly reducing the time required for reconstruction and, as a result, reducing the incidence of complications.
