Medtronic Octopus™ Tissue Stabilizers for Beating Heart and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgeries

Description: Medtronic's Octopus™ Tissue Stabilizers are designed to provide optimal stabilization of the heart during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedures. These devices facilitate precise immobilization of the target coronary artery, enabling surgeons to perform anastomoses on a beating heart without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Stability: The Octopus Evolution AS model offers automatic pod spread, improving visualization and access to the anastomotic site.
• Flexibility and Positioning: A low-profile design with a flexible, articulating arm allows for unlimited positioning options, accommodating various surgical approaches.
• Minimally Invasive Compatibility: The Octopus Nuvo Tissue Stabilizer is specifically engineered for MICS CABG procedures, featuring a smaller headlink and malleable pods to facilitate use through small incisions.
• Secure Attachment: A simple, one-handed attachment mechanism ensures quick and secure connection to the retractor, streamlining the surgical workflow.

Available Models:

• Octopus Evolution AS: Designed for conventional beating heart surgeries, featuring automatic pod spread for enhanced visualization.
• Octopus Nuvo: Tailored for minimally invasive procedures, with a compact design suitable for MICS CABG.
