U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Mandy Giffin, 633d Surgical Operations Squadron operating room nurse, holds a packaged vessel loop used in arteriovenous (AV) fistula surgeries during the Lesser Antilles Medical Team (LAMAT) 25 mission at Modern Medical & Diagnostic Center, Georgetown, Saint Vincent, March 17, 2025. Vessel loops are soft, flexible bands used in surgery to gently retract or isolate blood vessels, helping surgeons keep critical structures visible and protected. The goal of the LAMAT mission is to enhance medical readiness, strengthen partnerships, and support hospital operations through collaboration between U.S. and host nation medical professionals and maintain military readiness.
