Venapax® Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System

A unitary system for vessel dissection and branch ligation

OverviewProduct FeaturesBenefitsEducationAdditional Information

What Makes Venapax the Next Frontier in Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting?

Venapax revolutionized EVH as the industry’s first endoscopic vessel harvesting system to introduce a unitary design. The simplified unitary system for dissection and harvesting offers precision, reducing thermal spread and charring during saphenous vein harvest and radial artery harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This aims to reduce the learning curve for practitioners.

Product Features

Venapax® Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System from Zimmer Biomet

Unitary, All-in-One Design

Ability to dissect, spot cauterize, and ligate branches with a single endoscopic vessel harvesting instrument, eliminating the need for device exchanges during EVH procedures.

Venapax® Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System from Zimmer Biomet

Minimal-Touch Conical Tip

A transparent, smooth conical tip acts as an atraumatic dissector and a viewing window, designed to minimize greater saphenous vein exposure to rough edges during vessel harvesting.

Flexible CO2 Cannula

Provides a conduit for CO2 gas insufflation to safely maintain a clear, dry tunnel while enhancing maneuverability during saphenous vein harvesting and radial artery harvest.

Intelligent Bipolar Energy

Retractable, decoupled electrodes use a high-density current pathway and real-time tissue impedance feedback to deliver tailored, high-strength seals with minimal thermal spread and low reduced charring.

Intuitive Handle Controls

Ergonomically designed, featuring a simple blue slider to deploy electrodes and a power button for energy activation.

Benefits

How Does Venapax Optimize Graft Patency and CABG Procedural Efficiency?

The Venapax system approach is a "no touch" technique focused on minimizing vessel manipulation during endoscopic vessel harvesting, which helps prevent thermal injuries and may help to improve the quality of the conduit and graft patency, helping decrease spasm and increase distensibility. Additionally, this all-inclusive unitary design drives sustainable economic value by reducing the overall expense of EVH disposables for hospital systems performing coronary artery bypass graft CABG surgery procedures
