Frequently Asked Questions about Cardiac Surgery Instruments
What is sternal fixation and why is it important after cardiac surgery?
Sternal fixation restores the sternum after median sternotomy. Proper fixation reduces sternal dehiscence, mediastinitis risk, and post-operative pain. Titanium plate systems provide rigid fixation superior to traditional wire cerclage, especially in high-risk patients.
What types of cannulae are used in cardiac surgery?
Venous cannulae drain blood from the right atrium or vena cava to the bypass circuit. Arterial cannulae return oxygenated blood to the aorta. Available in single-stage, dual-stage venous, and straight/curved arterial configurations for CPB and ECMO.
What are cardiac lead extraction systems used for?
Lead extraction systems remove chronically implanted pacemaker and ICD leads that are infected, malfunctioning, or need upgrading. Both mechanical (locking stylets, dilator sheaths) and laser (excimer) approaches are available for safe extraction.
