What is it indicated for?
has applications in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic vessel harvesting for arterial bypass. It is indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection/vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein and the femoral vessels. Thoracoscopic procedures include exposure and dissection of structures external to the parietal pleura, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall.
