THE TAILOR FLEXIBLE ANNULOPLASTY RING AND BAND ARE FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE TO SUSTAIN PHYSIOLOGIC MOVEMENT

The Tailor Flexible Annuloplasty Ring and Band are designed to maintain the size of a repaired mitral or tricuspid annulus while sustaining physiologic movement.

THE TAILOR RING PROVIDES A CUSTOMIZABLE DESIGN

  • Anterior and posterior support allows dynamic annular motion during the cardiac cycle
  • Full, flexible ring can be tailored to address specific patient need
     

TAILOR BAND OFFERS A SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE FOR TRICUSPID VALVE REPAIR

  • Standard pre-cut C-band provides time-saving simplicity
  • Posterior support allows dynamic annular motion
  • Band provides an alternative for tricuspid valve repair

THE SÉGUIN SEMI-RIGID RING HAS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF RIGIDITY AND FLEXIBILITY

The Séguin Semi-Rigid Ring provides surgeons with a combination of rigidity and flexibility for mitral valve repair.

  • Semi-rigid, tri-dimensional posterior designed to preserve the physiologic motion of the annulus
  • More rigid anterior allows for annular remodeling
  • Solid one-piece core resists needle penetration and reduces potential for suturing through the core
     

FLEXIBILITY IN JUST ONE STEP

The design advantage of the Séguin Semi-Rigid Ring delivery system is that it employs a one-step process designed to save time and reduce complexity during surgery.

THE RIGID SADDLE RING HAS A NATURAL SADDLE-SHAPED DESIGN FOR DURABLE, COMPLETE REMODELING

  • Annular-height-to-commissural-width ratio of 15% mimics a healthy mitral annulus1
  • Titanium alloy core maintains anatomical shape and provides annular remodeling
  • Saddle shape contributes to efficient distribution of leaflet stress and chordal tension1–3
  • Redistribution of leaflet stress and chordal tension through saddle-shape remodeling
    may increase repair durability1,3,4
     

EASE OF IMPLANTATION

  • Polyester double-velour cuff is supported by a unique triangular core for a larger
    suture target
  • Clear, well-marked holder is designed to increase visibility during implant
  • Secure ergonomic handle quickly attaches and detaches to save time during implant
