“At present, from my vision, we have manufactured, patent pending the design, an aluminum, steel and plastic model of the Vijay-Robinson Sequential Suture Holder named also in memory of the late Dr. George Robinson. It is ready to be contracted at a surgical care company for worldwide distribution.” -R. Vijay, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Surgical technology is changing at a rapid pace. New surgical instruments are introduced to the medical industry more frequently than ever. For example, companies like GerMedUSA Inc. manufacture a large selection of innovative surgical instruments like the Sequential Suture Holder (TM). They introduce a variety of quality surgical instruments frequently.

Dr R. Vijay, M.D., the inventor of this extraordinary tool, was inspired by the late Dr. George Robinson. Dr. Robinson was a colleague and mentor to Dr. Vijay back in 1969. During this time, the medical industry didn’t have an instrument available for surgeons to hold several sutures for heart valve replacement. This of course included other surgeries where numerous sutures were used.

When the sutures pass through the annulus of the heart valve, they’re applied to clamps and placed into the sequential suture holder. These sutures are removed one-by-one in sequential order. Then they are applied to the sewing ring of the artificial heart valve.

How it Works During surgery, these sutures are detached individually, in sequential order and applied to the sewing ring of the artificial heart valve. Then the needles are cut and all the sequential sutures in the holder are lifted up to maneuver the heart valve into the right position. Then without any strings hanging below, the sutures are tied and cut. This makes the procedure a lot easier for surgeons.

Sequential Suture Holder (TM) The Sequential Suture Holder (TM) was named after the late Dr. George Robinson. Dr. Robinson was Dr. Vijay’s mentor during the early portion of his medical career. Dr. Robinson was the first to perform heart valve replacement. His very first patient was a child. He is also known as first doctor to implant the pacemaker in a person. Dr. Robinson was a Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was also Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at the Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center.

Surgical instrument manufacturers like GerMedUSA Inc. provide the medical industry with a host of quality surgical instruments like the patent pending Sequential Suture Holder (TM).

As a leading cardiac surgeon, Dr. Robinson was the first to perform heart valve replacement. The first patient to undergo this procedure was a child. In addition, he was the first doctor to implant the pacemaker in a patient. During 1969-1972, there were no surgical instruments available to hold several sutures for heart valve replacement and other surgeries where several sutures were used. As a result, the sutures would get tangled and prolong the process of surgery. Today, surgical procedures will be less time-consuming and easier to handle with the Sequential Suture Holder (TM).
