VirtuoSaph^TM Endoscopic Vein Harvesting System

Product Link

• A 5.5 mm endoscope designed exclusively for the VirtuoSaph EVH System utilizing Olympus technology. Provides superior resolution and image quality.
• The body of the simple, clip-on trocar is inserted into the leg incision and stays in place with the clip securely placed on the skin, allowing fast conversion between procedural steps. The dissector and harvester rods access the saphenous vein by entering the trocar through the port.
• Dissector rod dissects the saphenous vein and surrounding branches. The atraumatic conical tip offers consistent and uniform dissection. CO2, delivered at the tip, consistently provides space in the tunnel for increased visibility.
• Harvester rod cuts and coagulates the branches of the saphenous vein in one easy step. CO2, delivered at the tip, provides space in the tunnel for increased visibility. Buttons on the harvester handle allow the clinician to manipulate the endoscopic tools, while viewing the procedure on a flat panel or CRT monitor. The ergonomic design of the handle allows one-handed manipulation. Endoscopic tools at the tip of the harvester rod include a V-keeper, V-lock, V-cutter and wiper.
• The V-keeper holds down the saphenous vein to minimize potential damage to the vein during cauterization.
• The V-lock secures the saphenous vein in place during harvesting and transection of the branches. It ensures that all branches are cut and cauterized prior to removing the harvester rod from the leg.
• The V-cutter, a simple cut-and-coagulate mechanism, provides both functions in one easy step. The safety design of the harvester rod maintains a controlled distance between the V-keeper and the V-cutter to enhance visibility, ease of use, and to provide the optimal transection location on the branch.
• The unique wiper also located on the harvester rod tip clears and cleans the endoscope lens of fat or blood to improve procedural visibility, without adding fluid in the cavity.
• The newest generator from Olympus, the UES-40, provides the latest in electrosurgical technology and performance. It delivers the flexibility to delicately adjust cutting and coagulation settings. The components of the endoscopic tower include the Olympus VISERA^TM camera processor unit, VISERA light soure, CO2 insufflator, CRT or flat panel monitor, and a cart. Other accessories, such as video recorders or printers, can be added as needed.
• Hands-on training can be obtained at our Centers of Excellence which include virtual reality simulators. Clinicians can visit these centers to discuss the system and procedure with other clinicians, observe cases, and practice using the simulators.
