Thoratec
Thoratec
Thoratec is the world leader in mechanical circulatory support with the broadest product portfolio to treat the full range of clinical needs for patients suffering from advanced heart failure.
We have developed a multitude of hand tool concepts to facilitate the application of different procedures to prolong a patients life. These tools need to be operated one handed. The tools shown here cut a slit and then core a hole in the heart so a hose can be sewn on to the heart attached to the heartmate pump system.
