Tailored safety and durability1
The Carbomedics name is intrinsically linked to the historical development of mechanical heart valves. Based on the expertise and with the clear mission of providing highly reliable and technologically advanced solutions, in 1986 Carbomedics introduced to the market a mechanical bileaflet valve with a rotatable housing for optimal leaflet positioning.
Thanks to its robust design, the Carbomedics bileaflet mechanical heart valve has extremely low incidence of post-operative structural failures* in over 1 million implants worldwide.
A robust design** to minimize post-operative structural failures.
Pyrolytic carbon coated leaflets
Pyrolytic carbon housing
Titanium stiffening band
*Based on Corcym post-market surveillance, structural valve failure is expected to occur between 0.1 and 1 times per 100000 device population.
**According to ISO 5840 CORCYM post-market surveillance and published experience on long term results (Bouchard et al., Ann Thorac Surg2014;97:816–23).
Tailored ease of implant
