Patients who have had cardiac catheterization or coronary angioplasty often are required to stay in bed with restricted movement for three to 24 hours afterward to prevent bleeding from the femoral artery catheter insertion site.
Features and Benefits
Improved back up support in comparison to Terumo standard femoral guiding catheter shapes*1

Guide catheters are required for all coronary interventions to provide access to the coronary ostium and support equipment delivery. The ideal guide provides stability for device advancement through the coronary anatomy, while minimizing vessel trauma and allowing for vessel opacification.
The catheter is guided to the narrowed artery. Then, a smaller balloon catheter is inserted through the flexible catheter and inflated at the narrowed area to open it. Often, the doctor will also place a mesh coil called a stent at the narrowed part to help keep the artery open.

Tissue Stabilizers
OCTOPUS TISSUE STABILIZERS
Our newest generation tissue stabilizer features automatic pod spread for effective visualization.
SUMMARY
OCTOPUS EVOLUTION AS – THE NEXT GENERATION TISSUE STABILIZER
The newest generation tissue stabiliser from Medtronic demonstrates an enduring commitment to the cardiac surgeon. With all the same features of the Octopus™ Evolution – enhanced stability, flexibility, and a lower profile for unlimited positioning options – the Octopus Evolution AS offers an automatic pod spread feature that enhances visibility at the anastomotic site.
- Automatic pod spread for effective visualisation of the anastomotic site
- Very secure arm for maximum stabilization
- Greater flexibility enables unlimited positioning options
- Simple, secure, one-handed attachment of clamp to the retractor
OCTOPUS EVOLUTION – LOW PROFILE WITH FLEXIBILITY AND REACH
The Octopus Evolution stabilizer provides enhanced stability, flexibility, and a lower profile for unlimited positioning options.
Enhanced stability and flexibility features:
- Improved visualisation with:
- Lower profile headlink
- Surgeon controlled pod-spread
- Allowance for multiple device positions including pods-up, pods-down and pods-to-the-side applications
- Increased flexibility and range of motion
- Longer, effective reach of the articulating arm provides easier access to all vessels
- Simple, secure, one-handed engagement of clamp and turret assembly
THE OCTOPUS 4.3 STABILISER FEATURES SUPERIOR ARM STRENGTH AND UNMATCHED STABILITY IN THE CLAMP/TURRET MECHANISM.
- Dual vacuum tubes offer superior tissue capture
- Internal cable enables arm twisting for maximum access and flexibility
- Reinforced arm links offer better stabilisation
- Whale tail tightens easily
- Swivel turret offers access while maximising visualisation
- Head lock design allows “toes up” position, pod spread and bend
- Rigid clamp designed to eliminate rocking
OCTOPUS 4 – EXCELLENT STABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
The Octopus 4 tissue stabiliser includes innovative features, such as clear, malleable pods combined with a smaller diameter, more flexible arm, and an ultra-low headlink profile.
- Pod spreading optimises sewing space and stability of anastomotic site
- Reduced headlink profile improves visibility of surgical site
- Rigid, multi-material arm reduces movement at the anastomotic site
- Smaller diameter, more flexible arm offers greater flexibility in positioning
- Smaller, color-coded whale tail provides minimal obstruction
- Single vacuum tubing line minimises obstruction
- Innovative turret design increases effective arm reach, dramatically increasing positioning options with 360-degree movement
