Our ValveGate program for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, originally designed for valve surgery only, is increasingly gaining popularity in other surgical fields too.

Cardiac surgeons are striving to extend the array of minimally invasive procedures to Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting a.o. applications. Therefore we have now launched with the new ValveGate™Mini a miniature range of ValveGate available in shaft length S=17cm, B=12 and C=15cm. The B and C length might be especially benefitial for CABG.

So far few centers worldwide are offering the totally endoscopic minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting procedure, but the number is increasing rapidly.

ValveGate™Mini is also useful in combination with MIDCAB or Robotic procedures or for Pediatric procedures. The instruments are also popular for use in open procedures to lift the difference of feel between open and endoscopic surgery for the surgeon and give maximum routine and confidence.

With the classic ValveGate™, ValveGate™ Open Shaft, and the new ValveGate™PRO and ValveGate™Mini the ValveGate™ product family GEISTER® demonstrates its competence and leadership in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
