Mitral valve bioprosthesis PERIMOUNT Theon

bovine tissue

Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Theon valve Designed specifically for the mitral valve position... Designed specifically for the mitral valve position... Bioengineered PERIMOUNT design Mathematically modeled bioengineered design is intended to optimize implantability, hemodynamics and long-term durability1-7 Flexible cobalt-chromium alloy stent absorbs energy during the cardiac cycle Three independent symmetrical pericardial leaflets matched for thickness and elasticity are mounted under a flexible stent Mitral design Black suture markers indicate proper orientation Tricentrix holder Implantability The Tricentrix holder system is intended to provide ease of implant When fully deployed, the commissures should deflect towards the center of the valve, helping to guide sutures into their correct position and prevent the formation of suture loops Tissue treatment The PERIMOUNT Theon valve is treated with the Carpentier-Edwards ThermaFix process*, confronting both major calcium binding sites: residual glutaraldehydes and phospholipids * No clinical data are available that evaluate the long-term impact of the Edwards Lifesciences tissue treatments in patients. The Tricentrix holder system is intended to provide ease of implant Indications: For use in patients whose mitral valvular disease warrants replacement of their natural or previously placed prosthetic valve and when the valve cannot be repaired. Contraindications: Do not use if surgeon believes it would be contrary to the patient’s best interests.
