This innovative retractor-camera kit for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) eliminates an extra incision, reducing trauma and enhancing surgical efficiency. It combines an atrium lift retractor with a flexible, size-adjustable camera for clear, controlled views of the heart, simplifying the procedure. This advancement not only improves surgery precision but also speeds up patient recovery. The kit's design frees up operating room space and reduces the need for additional personnel, offering a less invasive, more cost-effective solution for mitral valve surgery.
