Micro Adson 15cm Dressing Forceps — Coronary Microsurgery

Micro Adson 15cm — Coronary Microsurgery

The 15cm-labelled Micro Adson serves coronary-microsurgery — specifically the off-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass surgery where the surgeon performs the IMA-to-LAD anastomosis without cardiopulmonary bypass. Off-pump CABG demands microsurgical-scale forceps at body-cavity depth, with the additional challenge that the operative field is moving with each cardiac contraction. The Micro Adson 15cm provides the right scale and reach combination for this procedure.

The off-pump CABG advantage

Off-pump CABG avoids the inflammatory response, cognitive dysfunction risk, and renal-function changes associated with cardiopulmonary bypass — particularly valuable in patients with comorbidities. The trade-off is a more technically demanding operation requiring stabilisation devices for the target coronary artery and instrumental precision in handling the moving field. The Micro Adson 15cm is part of the technical-precision instrument package that makes off-pump technique reproducible.

The cm-convention in cardiac surgery

North American cardiac-surgery training uses cm-labelling globally; the 150mm-labelled equivalent (DF 03-65-02) serves European market conventions. Both are the same product.
