<p>The present invention relates to a stabilizer (10) that immobilizes tissue at a surgical site. A preferred embodiment of this device is used during cardiac bypass surgery and includes a preferably rectangular, oblong or similar shaped device having a width dimension that is greater than the lengthwise dimension such that an aperture area (16) is formed along three sides of the surgical site so that a graft of anastomosis that is formed in the aperture area allows the stabilizer to be removed without disturbing the graft and the device may be used in combination with flexible tapes or threads (70) to apply an upwardly directed force to the tissues adjacent to the surgical site.</p> |
