Leading today… Leading the way
Is there a better way to harvest saphenous veins and radial artery grafts using a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure?
Does your choice of equipment make a difference when it comes to the safety of the procedure and the integrity of the harvested vessel?
Safe and Reliable Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting
Sorin EVH System:
Provides a safe and proven method for minimally invasive vessel harvesting
Carries little to no risk of CO2 embolism
Operates at a lower temperature to reduce the risk of intimal hyperplasia and ensure a higher quality of harvested vessel
Safe and Reliable Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting

An open CO2 system ensures little to no risk of CO2 embolism.
Sorin EVH system is not dependent on gas insufflation to maintain tissue separation and/or the tunnel.
A study published by Emile Brown et al concluded that an open carbon dioxide EVH system can significantly lessen the complication of clot formation.1

A different study published by Dr. Keith Allen et al concludedthat Sorin EVH and traditional saphenectomy yielded similar event-free survival, although leg wound complications were reduced from 19% to 4% with the Sorin system.1
In addition, the Allen study concluded that the number of outpatient visits required to manage each wound complication was far lesswith Sorin EVH.

When cauterizing, the temperature at the point of tissue contact can have an impact on the quality of the harvested vessel
Sorin EVH system cauterizes at a lower temperature than seen with other devices on the market
This thermal spread also reduces the risk of intimal hyperplasia

Sorin EVH system features a patented, offset bipolar electrode providing the only lockable jaw on the market
The result is less trauma to the vein, helping to ensure excellent vessel integrity and producing a strong seal for uniform coagulation
