The Starfish® Heart Positioner simplifies cardiac positioning and minimizes the associated hemodynamic deterioration when compared to DPS.1
- Facilitates access to and exposure of the cornonaries.
- The multi-appendage, silicone suction cup provides attachment to the apex, and the left ventricle immediately lateral to the apex, to greatly enhance lateral wall exposure

The Octopus®3 Tissue Stabilizer is the pioneering and market-leading suction device featuring:
- Malleable stabilizer pods that can be formed to the unique contours of the patient's anatomy.
- A unique tissue-spreading mechanism enhances stabilization of the anastomotic site and presentation of the cornonary.
