This challenging specialism covers the full spectrum of cardiac, arterial and vascular conditions. The human heart continually pumps blood to our organs and tissues, supplying them with vital oxygen and nutrients. It beats 60 to 80 times a minute – about 100,000 times a day – and pumps up to 10,000 litres of blood through the blood vessels. Over the average lifetime, the heart beats more than 2.5 billion times, making it easy to see how problems or signs of wear can sometimes occur. As a partner for cardiac and vascular surgeons, we offer an extensive product portfolio to enable specialists to perform cardiac and vascular procedures successfully, reliably and safely. With both classic basic instruments and instruments specially designed for vascular surgery, we provide a range of available solutions. Our toolbox also contains instruments for neonatal and paediatric cardiac surgery, which can be used to correct congenital heart defects. Top quality and visibly impressive performance are continuously guaranteed.
