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
Tailored ease of implant
Carbomedics sewing cuffs are optimized for ease of implant and stable seating. Most importantly, the Carbomedics sewing cuff is designed to gently conform to the tissue, thus minimizing the tension on sutures and consequently the risk of dehiscence.3 The broad variety of configurations was conceived to provide effective fit in any anatomical configuration.A unique platform with favorable hemodynamics 4,5
The opening angle and travel arc of the Carbomedics valves’ leaflets are determined by hydrodynamic testing in order to achieve low pressure gradients and an optimal balance between forward flow and regurgitant volume, thus minimizing total energy loss while promoting quiet functioning.
