Stability
Excellent stabilization: malleable feet provide ideal stabilization and superb vessel presentation.

The low-profile arm is designed for increased strength, and innovative FlexLink™ technology features interlocking links that enable greater maneuverability.
Visibility
Tri-slot socket design provides access to difficult vessels in "toes-up" position, for maximum visibility.
Beating Heart Surgery
Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) uses local stabilization of the heart that allows the surgeon to operate while the heart still beats. In contrast, conventional bypass surgery stops the heart and puts the patient on a heart-lung machine during the bypass procedure.
The potential benefits of beating heart surgery compared to on-pump surgery may include:[1]
- Reduced incidence of a common irregular rhythm post-operatively (Afib)
- Fewer cognitive and neurological effects (for example, a stroke)
- Lower incidence of post-operative respiratory failure
- Faster recovery rates
- Shorter hospital stays
- Fewer wound complications
- Fewer blood transfusions needed
