Dear Customer:

There are many exciting things coming your way in 2011 from Sorin Group!

We're happy to introduce our new XTRA next-generation autotransfusion system. This powerful and intuitive system can be used as a complete autologous blood recovery system for intraoperative and postoperative collection, as well as for preoperative sequestration. In addition to flexibility, users experience enhanced safety features, easy maneuverability and significantly reduced processing times.

You may also have seen our new VascuClear Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting system. Another next-generation innovation, VascuClear includes an updated jaw design for greater strength and durability, as well as added features for improved operator convenience - all without sacrificing the flexibility and safety you've come to expect from Sorin EVH systems.

We are also pleased to offer the widest choice of oxygenators to meet the needs of your practice. From neonates to full sized adults, our extensive product line ensures total flexibility and low prime operation in oxygenation and arterial filtration.

And of course, there is much more to come. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, you might want to browse our new web site, completely redesigned to quickly and easily provide the comprehensive information and/or resources you need. While there, take a guided tour of the new site, and check out LifeBeat TV - a new multimedia resource where you can watch videos about our company, our products, various cardiac procedures and physician testimonials.

Thank you for your continued support of Sorin Cardiopulmonary. If we can do anything to better serve you, please let us know.

Best Regards,

Michel Darnaud
President Cardiopulmonary BU
