Abstract

This invention is an apparatus (10) for stabilizing a predetermined area on a heart or other organ of a patient to enable a surgical procedure, the apparatus comprising a bifurcated member (30) having two elongated prongs (32), and an elongated handle segment (50) pivotally and rotatably attached to the bifurcated member (30). The handle segment (50) can be movably attached to a rib retractor or other surgical device (20) so that a person is not required to hold the handle segment (50). The preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention further comprises a device (60) to lock or frictionally hold the bifurcated member (30) in a desired position both on the organ, and relative to the handle segment (50) during the surgical procedure.
