Thousands of people undergo heart surgery daily in the U.S. and around the world. Whether a patient requires surgery to repair the valves that control blood flow through the heart's chambers or an implant device to regulate heart rhythms, the chances of a patient experiencing a fast recovery are phenomenal.
What is all the excitement over the patent pending Vijay-Robinson Sequential Holder? Before getting into the design and details of this innovative new surgical instrument, let's discuss how the seed of the idea was planted.
Dr R. Vijay, M.D., the inventor of this extraordinary tool, was inspired by the late Dr. George Robinson. Dr. Robinson was a colleague and mentor to Dr. Vijay back in 1969. During this time, the medical industry didn't have an instrument available for surgeons to hold several sutures for heart valve replacement. This of course included other surgeries where numerous sutures were used.
When a surgeon performed this sort of procedure, the sutures would get entangled and require extra effort and time to perform the surgery. To say the least, this was very counterproductive. So, Dr. Vijay spent several years in search for an efficient surgical tool to solve this common problem among doctors.
How it Works During surgery, these sutures are detached individually, in sequential order and applied to the sewing ring of the artificial heart valve. Then the needles are cut and all the sequential sutures in the holder are lifted up to maneuver the heart valve into the right position. Then without any strings hanging below, the sutures are tied and cut. This makes the procedure a lot easier for surgeons.
The Sequential Suture Holder is an aluminum, steel and plastic model of the Vijay-Robinson Sequential Suture Holder. It was actually named in memory of the late Dr. George Robinson. This innovative patent pending instrument is contracted through GerMedUSA for global distribution.
The Idea behind the Vision R. Vijay, M.D., F.A.C.S. was a colleague and mentor of Dr. George Robinson. He was Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at the Montefiore Hospital & Medical Center. He was also the Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
