Simulus Flexible Annuloplasty Ring 700FF - Mitral/tricuspid annuloplasty ring

Intended purpose

Intended for use in patients undergoing surgery for diseased or damaged mitral or tricuspid valves, to provide support for the mitral or tricuspid annulus and restrict expansion of the annulus.

Functional description

The Ring is marked at three points by coloured sutures. Two markers correspond to the trigones (mitral valve) or septal commissures (tricuspid valve), and a central marker identifies the Ring midpoint. The individual Ring size (23 - 39 mm in 2-mm increments) refers to the inner circumference between the green trigone markers. Silicone markers, impregnated with barium sulfate and tungsten. enable radiographic visualisation. The Ring is mounted to a holder to ease positioning and implantation.
