Standard Aortic Valve
Aortik Kalp Kapağı

Implantation Considerations
• Titanium stiffening ring allows rotatability in-situ
• Generous sewing cuff conforms to annulus, minimizing perivalvular leaks

Clinical Considerations
• Low profile minimizes housing interference with coronary arteries
• Titanium stiffening ring minimizes the possibility of leaflet lock-up or escape
• Unsurpassed safety and clinical record for valve related events

Applications
• Low coronary ostia
• Narrow, rigid aortic sinus
• Large annulus
• MIS procedures

Standard Mitral Valve
Mitral Kalp Kapağı

Implantation Considerations
• Large, flexible sewing cuff promotes coaptation to annulus and minimizes potential for perivalvular leaks
• Cuff design displaces tissue up and away from orifice and leaflets allowing for leaflet preservation
• Titanium stiffening ring allows rotatability in-situ to minimize possible interference with subvalvular anatomy

Clinical Considerations
• Low profile pivot design minimizes protrusion into low-flow atrial area, reducing potential for thrombus formation
• Titanium stiffening ring minimizes the possibility of leaflet lock-up or escape
• Unsurpassed safety and clinical record for valve related events

Applications
• Mitral valve replacement using mitral leaflet preservation procedures
• Double valve replacement
• MIS procedures

Carbomedics Carbo-Seal®
Valsalva Ascending Aortic Prosthesis

Applications
• Ascending aortic aneurysms
• Infective aortitis
• Marfan's Syndrome

Clinical viability
• Graft is infused with minimally cross-linked gelatin for faster healing, encouraging a secure neo-intimal attachment with reduced inflammatory response
• Carbomedics Carbo-Seal® Gelatin hydrolyses within 14 days enhancing secure anchoring of the neointima
• Sinus segment places the graft proximal to the coronary ostia minimizing the dissection of the coronary artery
• Sinus design encourages natural formation of systolic vortex
• Reduced stretching of the coronary arteries may prevent narrowing and improve flow

Implant flexibility
• Vertical orientation of pleats facilitates coronary anastomosis
• Graft material resists fraying and quickly seals suture holes, minimizing bleeding
• Easier handling and suturing in comparison to bulkier velour materials
• Titanium stiffening ring allows valve rotatability in-situ

Carbomedics Reduced Series

Implantation Considerations
• True sized for a true fit
• Smaller, pliable cork-shaped sewing cuff allows for improved seating in a smaller annulus or small root
• Smallest external diameter bileaflet valve
• Titanium stiffening ring allows easy, consistent rotatability in-situ

Clinical Considerations
• Alternative to aortic root enlargement when supra-annular valve won't fit in narrow sinus
• Unsurpassed safety and clinical record for valve-related events

Applications
• Narrow, rigid aortic annulus
• Small, inflexible aorta that lacks Sinus of Valsalva
• Low coronary ostia
• MIS procedures
