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



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



Bonchek Vein Distention System Accessory

Lets you easily and safely distend and irrigate a vein graft

Hydrostatic pressure delivered to 200, 300 or 400 mmHg levels

Blunt tip and bevel tip cannula available to suit your individual procedure preferences


Clinicians benefit from Sorin EVH due to:

The freedom to perform minimally invasive harvesting to suit varying patient anatomies, user techniques and capital equipment

The choice of either saphenous vein or radial artery harvesting

Clinical training, product support and outstanding customer service


Patients benefit from EVH thanks to:

Shorter hospital length of stay

Less pain

Reduced wound complications

Improved cosmesis resulting from smaller incisions
