our ValveGate program for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, originally designed for valve surgery only, is increasingly gaining popularity in other surgical fields. 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 totally endoscopic minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting procedure. 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.
