The Evolution of Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting

Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting has been the standard of care for more than two decades. Historically the EVH learning curve has been long and arduous for the new user. Until now. Venapax is the evolution you’ve waited for.

Venapax is a unitary system that provides dissection and simultaneous branch ligation in a simple, elegant device. It enables a minimal touch approach focused on optimizing
graft quality.
