Reshaping Mitral Repair
Designed to support a comprehensive range of techniques1
With its innovative chordal guiding system, it turns artificial chordae replacement into standard procedure
Design elements
UNIQUE RANGE OF SIZES*
Up to size 42 mm to treat large annuli.
A complete range of sizes to meet a size-specific repair principle. The 42 mm size is unique to Memo 4DTM.
PROGRESSIVE INCREASE OF THE ANTEROPOSTERIOR DIAMETER
The progressive increase of the anteroposterior diameter of Memo 4D, from size 34 to size 42, helps accommodate excess leaflet tissue, while reducing the risk of systolic anterior motion (SAM).3
EXCLUSIVE GRADUAL SADDLE SHAPING
The anterior saddle shape is gradually enhanced from size 34 to size 42.
It is designed to restore the physiological geometry in enlarged annuli that have lost their three-dimensional profile.4
STABILITY AND SUPPORT
The right balance of rigidity and flexibility to cover a comprehensive range of mitral valve repair needs.1
The natural annular dynamics of the Memo platform is clinically proven and acknowledged.
THREE LAYER STRUCTURE
Oval silicone sheath - Ease-of-implant with an adequate annular fit.
Nitinol cell structure - Accommodates the diastolic phase and provides consistent recovery of the natural systolic profile.5,6
Carbofilm Coating - Reduces inflammatory reaction favoring a gentle endothelialization.
OPTIMIZED HEMODYNAMICS5,6,9
Truly physiological three-dimensional motion of the mitral annulus with a natural anterior/posterior to lateral/lateral relationship to maximize blood flow5, even five years after implantation.
