TAVI SYSTEM
TAVI
Stable delivery. Remarkable performance. Future ready.
NAVITOR™ TAVI SYSTEM
Navitor™ combines Navitor™ valves (available in four sizes) with the FlexNav™ delivery system to provide one TAVI system, optimized to give favorable clinical outcomes while maintaining enhanced deliverability and ease of use.
NAVITOR™ VALVE FEATURES
INTELLIGENT DESIGN
Advancing the forefront of innovative design, the Navitor™ valve brings together smart PVL-sealing technology, exceptional single-digit gradients,1,2 and uncompromised coronary access to achieve excellent clinical outcomes.
SMART SEALING.
REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE.
NaviSeal™ Cuff actively synchronizes to the cardiac cycle, seals, and mitigates paravalvular leak (PVL)1,2 by expanding to fill calcification-related gaps between the annulus and the valve.

HEMODYNAMIC IMPACT
Non-tapered stent and large effective orifice areas resulting in single-digit gradients are associated with improved cardiac function, long-term durability, and minimal prosthesis-patient mismatch.1,2
Continuous stability.
No rapid pacing.
The only self-expanding valve with intra-annular leaflets that immediately function and a nontapered stent, providing hemodynamic stability for a calm and controlled deployment.
Designed for durability.
Exclusive Linx™ anticalcification (AC) technology resists calcification in four distinct ways to improve long-term valve performance.4-7

A deployment indicator gives you a clear visualization of the valve’s deployment progress.
The simple deployment wheel provides both audible and tactile feedback as you deploy the valve.
Two macro-slide buttons make it easy for you to open and close the distal end of the delivery system during valve loading and post-deployment.
The stability layer ensures stable, predictable valve deployment to achieve accurate valve placement.
The automatic lock button prevents full valve deployment until you’ve got the valve right where you want it.
With the unique micro-adjustment wheel, you can close gaps between the valve capsule and the atraumatic nosecone.

Atraumatic nosecone
Large-Cell framework
Flexible capsule
Hydrophilic coating
Integrated sheath
Atraumatic nosecone and smooth transitions are designed to
reduce risk of vascular complications and calcium dislodgement.The large-cell framework of the NavitorTM valve reduces metal mass, resulting in a more flexible capsule.
The capsule is more flexible because it does not require bilateral metal rails or extra nitinol braiding, resulting in enhanced flexibility.18
Hydrophilic coating reduces friction by 98%,19 providing lubricity to guide the system through vasculature.
Integrated sheath for low 14 F delivery profile.20*
* 14 F equivalent integrated sheath diameter for patients requiring 23 mm or 25 mm valve.

In terms of delivery of the valve, the FlexNav™ is now a leader by far. It has the best access for sheathless approach… It cuts through like (a) hot knife through butter.
