HEART POSITIONER (URCHIN)

Urchin™  Heart Positioner.

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 stabiliser provides a consistent system for beating heart surgery
• The simple design of the positioner cup provides immediate tissue capture to the apex of the heart to provide enhanced visualisation of the anastomotic sites
• Swivel headlink increases positioning options;
• Silicone suction apparatus provides immediate tissue capture; utilises -250 mmHg
• Provides enhanced access to lateral wall with “off-apex” position

The positioner continues to feature increased flexibility, range of motion, and a longer reach of the articulating arm for ease in accessing vessels.

The Urchin Evo heart positioner provides immediate tissue capture to the apex of the heart, effective positioning, and enhanced visualisation of the anastomotic sites.
