Medtronic has taken the proven stabilizer clamp technology from our Octopus® Evolution Tissue Stabilizer and applied it to our new and improved, next-generation Urchin® Evo Heart Positioners.
Key benefits of this new design include:
Improved clamp design provides increased stability of the positioner on the retractor
Clamp can be applied to the retractor with a singlehanded technique allowing for ease of setup
Same clamp on the positioner and stabilizer provides a consistent system for beating heart surgery
The positioner continues to feature increased flexibility, range of motion, and a longer reach of the articulating arm for ease in accessing vessels.
