VALVE SOLUTIONSTISSUE HEART VALVES (THV)
Our latest aortic valve replacement solution for optimizing key clinical outcomes and the possibilities for patient lifetime management.
- PORCINE LEAFLETS
- LOW AORTIC PROTRUSION
- UNIQUE PERICARDIAL SHIELD
- LARGE STENT INTERNAL DIAMETER
- ADAPTIVE CUFF
PORCINE LEAFLETS natural internally mounted leaflet tissue with maximal opening (no muscle bar), complete leaflet coaptation (no central gap), no leaflet curtaining, and less calcification with reduced risk for stroke during reintervention.1
LOW AORTIC PROTRUSION mitigates the risk of coronary obstruction and sinus jailing
FLEXFIT™ POLYMER STENT
- Fractures at 8 atm2
- Eases implant
- Accommodates minimally invasive surgery
UNIQUE PERICARDIAL SHIELD provides a tissue-to-tissue interface to help prevent the risk of abrasion
LARGE STENT INTERNAL DIAMETER expands treatment options for patients by facilitating valve-in-valve* procedures with a wide range of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation prostheses
ADAPTIVE CUFF
Engineered to:- Allow maximum flexibility and easy passage through all anatomies
- Prevent paravalvular leaks by sealing in all planes and minimizes parachuting resistance when delivering the valve onto the annulus valve-in-valve*
