[0002] The primary function of a cardiac stabilizer is to provide a stable surgical field, ensuring that surgeons can perform procedures such as vascular anastomosis precisely while the heart is beating. It typically stabilizes localized areas of the heart muscle by adhering to or pressing against the heart surface, reducing the amplitude of heartbeats. A cardiac stabilizer usually consists of multiple components, including but not limited to a handle, fixation brace, outer sheath, distal articulation, and stabilizing claws.

[0003] Existing cardiac stabilizers can adjust the overall suction pressure of the suction cups at the end. However, during surgery, the suction force of a single suction cup may be insufficient. It is difficult for medical staff to intuitively judge whether the cardiac stabilizer can maintain a stable suction state. Directly increasing the suction force may cause some suction cups to have excessive suction force, which is detrimental to the heart. In addition, the suction cups are generally fixed, and the surgical area between the suction cups is fixed, which is not convenient for adjustment and limits the application scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, the technology lacks a cardiac surgery stabilizer that allows for individual adjustment of the suction cup's adhesion force. Utility Model Content
