Santair at the EEHCA Symposium & the HSECS Workshop in Alexandroupolis

At the EEHCA Scientific Symposium (June 20–21, 2025, Alexandroupolis), the Santair A.E. team showcased the Getinge Vasoview Hemopro 2, a state-of-the-art endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) system engineered to minimize graft trauma and ensure optimal vessel quality. The Vasoview Hemopro 2 facilitates endoscopic preparation of the saphenous vein and other conduits for bypass procedures, reducing patient hospital stay and accelerating recovery. The product of over 20 years of continuous innovation, Vasoview Hemopro 2 represents the latest generation of Vasoview’s simultaneous cutting and sealing technology for endoscopic vessel harvesting.

During the same days in Alexandroupolis, at the 2nd Educational Workshop of the Hellenic Society of Extracorporeal Circulation Specialists, our expert team delivered a live demonstration of the Getinge Cardiohelp System—a compact, portable ECMO (ECLS) device providing up to six hours of temporary cardiopulmonary support. As the world’s smallest portable cardiopulmonary support system, Cardiohelp is ideally suited for ICU use, interventional cardiology settings, and first-responder scenarios.

We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Isaak Keremidis, Specialist in Extracorporeal Circulation at the Interbalkan Medical Center in Thessaloniki, for his outstanding contribution to both the theoretical sessions and the hands-on Cardiohelp ECMO workshops during the 2nd Educational Workshop in Alexandroupolis. His expert guidance on priming techniques, troubleshooting protocols, and best practices for critical scenario management greatly enhanced the participants’ learning experience and supported our mission to deliver top-level training in extracorporeal circulation.
