Attaches to the sternal retractor
Catalogue logic GEISTER is designed for integration with different sternal retractor systems, so Flexible Arm can be introduced into an existing cardiac set without rebuilding the whole operative technique.
Reusable flexible arm GEISTER attaches to the sternal retractor and provides precise positioning of tips for stabilization, manipulation or aspiration in beating-heart and complex cardiac surgery.
Flexible Arm is needed when the surgeon must fix the target area, maintain the view and reduce dependence on the assistant’s hand position. The arm works as a rigid but controllable support for the tip: set the angle, lock the position and get a predictable field.
The strength of the system is not one accessory, but modularity. Stabilizing foots, retraction and manipulation blades, and aspiration elements are selected for scenarios where exposure and fluid removal must be managed at the same time.

Special interlock joints provide strong fixation, while the articulated tip connection adds degrees of freedom for the exact angle in a deep field.
Partial disassembly makes rinsing and post-op preparation easier. This is an argument not only for the surgeon, but also for CSSD and the scrub nurse.
This is where the page should sell not an item number, but a solution: we select the base, stabilization type, manipulation tips and aspiration elements for the access, retractor and surgeon’s habit.
Reusable flexible arm with strong connections for positioning the tip at the required point in the field.
Different stabilizing “foots” allow the contact surface to be matched to the coronary target and operative technique.
For retraction and manipulation, blades of different formats are available: atrial, aortic and flexible.
Aspiration stabilizers and tubing help keep the field cleaner where stabilization alone is not enough without suction.
The system is useful where exposure must not “float” because of heart movement, retractor angle changes or assistant fatigue.
For procurement, this is a total-cost-of-ownership argument: one base works with different tips and does not lock the clinic into a disposable solution.
The discussion becomes not “which arm to buy”, but which configuration to build: stabilization, retraction, manipulation or aspiration.
Flexible Arm is easy to explain together with retractors GEISTER: first stable access, then a stable working zone.
The surgeon needs to quickly understand whether the solution fits their technique. That is why we immediately clarify practical details that affect the configuration.
Describe the access, retractor and task. We will select Flexible Arm, modules and related items GEISTER.
