| 摘要 |
This invention is a cardiac manipulator (10) for minimally invasive surgical procedures. A flexible sac houses one or more inflatable chambers therein, the flexible sac (12) permitting insertion through an access aperture into a patient when the inflatable chambers (14a, 14b) are deflated. The inflatable chambers (14a, 14b) each have a fluid conduit connected to an associated valve for introducing a fluid thereinto, and removing the fluid therefrom. The flexible sac (12) may be manipulated into a low profile configuration for insertion into, and through the access aperture.
