Two new graft holders and an anastomosis assist mirror, designed for coronary artery bypass grafting, are described. The graft holders are pinching devices with sponges inside to prevent graft injury. The anastomosis assist mirror is a small circular mirror designed to show a reflective view of the lateral or posterior wall of the heart. Together they can provide secure stabilization of the graft and an excellent view of the anastomotic site.
