ATS Medical, Inc. has introduced the ATS Medical Thoracic Port System worldwide. The system incorporates new technology designed to complement robotic surgery and bring significant improvement to minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures.

Consisting of stainless steel ports in six sizes, the ATS Medical Thoracic Port System facilitates excellent visibility in the chest without interrupting the surgical field. Painful rib spreading is eliminated and travel of fat and tissue into the chest cavity is minimized, lowering the risk of embolization. Components are sterilizable and reusable, reducing cost and obviating the waste associated with single-use products, claims a company release.

ATS Medical manufactures and markets products and services focused on cardiac surgery. It is headquartered in Minneapolis and is global in scope with sales in more than 61 countries.
