Intended Use

VOMED trocars are intended to provide access to the thoracic cavity through ports in the intercostal spaces, with minimal to no rib retraction. VOMED trocars and trocar sleeves then allow endoscopic instruments, thoracoscopes, laparoscopes, a tube or a channel, and accessory devices to be inserted and used during cardiac surgery procedures.

VOMED adapters, tube connectors, caps and plugs, stopcocks and valves are noninvasive, reusable devices for use in cardiovascular applications to interconnect tubing and other devices during extracorporeal bypass procedures, effectively establishing a conduit between the devices for the flow of blood and other extracorporeal fluids.
