Medtronic Octopus Evolution Tissue Stabilizer For Hospitals, Hospital

Our newest generation tissue stabiliser features automatic pod spread for effective visualisation.
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 stabilisation
• 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 stabiliser 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 Stabilizer 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
