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
