Taking haemodynamic performance further ahead

Bicarbon Slimline aortic valve has been designed for a partially supra-annular positioning, with a supra-annular placement of the whole sewing cuff. The elimination of the sewing cuff material from the annulus allows the use of a larger titanium housing and this results in an improvement of the haemodynamic performances by improving orifice-to-annulus ratio.

PRODUCT FEATURES

  • Sizes: 17 – 27 mm
Beside the clinically proven design features of Sorin Bicarbon Mechanical Heart Valves, Bicarbon Slimline is characterized by a modified sewing ring, soft and pliable, designed to achieve partially supra-annular position, which leads to the following benefits:

  • Increased Effective Orifice Area (EOA)
  • Minimised Pressure Gradients
  • Improved left ventricular mass regression


Thanks to this improvement of the heamodynamic performances with an increased orifice area and a minimization of pressure gradients, the valve is suitable for small aortic annuli because it allows a larger orifice area and it does not need for annulus enlargement.
