AVATR™ Aortic Valve Access Thoracic Retractor
Designed for Clear Aortic Access — Open or MICS
AVATR™ Aortic Valve Access Thoracic Retractor for Cardiac Surgery
AVATR™ is a versatile thoracic retractor built to support efficient access to the aortic root in both open and minimally invasive surgical settings. With a wide-angle frame and curved dual-arm design, the system enables stable upward and lateral retraction while maintaining a compact footprint. Whether used in full sternotomy or port-access techniques, AVATR™ helps streamline exposure without encroaching on the operative field.
Key Features:
-
Wide-angle frame enables deep and stable exposure
-
Dual-arm design allows vertical and lateral retraction strategies
-
Interchangeable rake options tailor retraction to patient anatomy
-
Compact design preserves operative space in MICS settings
-
Stainless steel construction for repeated sterilization and use
-
Compatible with Genesee’s full rake sets and MICS blade systems
Clinical Considerations
Engineered for flexibility in aortic access strategies, AVATR™ supports both standard and reduced-access workflows. It is especially well-suited for TAVR, root work in smaller adults, or redo cases where exposure may be limited. It is designed for surgeons requiring both vertical and lateral thoracic access and cases involving reoperation or limited exposure. The system integrates seamlessly with Genesee’s modular rake sets and mounting hardware, allowing procedural teams to configure it according to anatomy and access goals.
