Coronary artery disease is one of the most important health problem both in developed and developing countries. CABG ("cabbage") surgery passes the blood around clogged arteries to improve blood and oxygen flow to the heart. 

Precision instruments are required to obtain an optimum outcome. GEISTER offers it all. A wide range of scissors, designed according to the types of vessels and the specific types of incisions, that must be performed during bypass surgery. An optional ball on the distal tip prevents trauma and damage to surrounding tissue. The graft can be repeatedly prepared with maximum precision and in an ideal manner. 

Atraumatic or micro tissue forceps hold vessels and soft tissue safely, gently, and without any trauma, in order to avoid intima damages. Micro needle holders, with straight or curved jaws and available with or without a catch, securely grasp and drive the needles without damaging them, due to their special Sapphire™ enhanced needle grip surface. Choose the right model with the corresponding tip dimension according to the needle size guide. 

For cross-clamping or laterally clamping the aorta before anastomosis as well as for clamping peripheral vessels, GEISTER offers a huge selection of atraumatic vascular clamps with DeBakey (1x2 or 2x3) or Cooley (2x2) jaws. A wide selection of bulldog clamps allows for control of smaller blood vessels.
