Cardiamed

Heart valves

The patented CardiaMed valve is the next step in the evolution of heart valve replacements. It builds on the advantages of previous designs whilst avoiding their disadvantages.

Mechanical Heart Valves

Cardiamed mechanical heart valve leaflets rotate slowly with every heartbeat around the central axis of the valve housing without restricting the blood flow, effectively eliminating the localization of all stasis zones in the bloodstream.

 

The leaflets auto-rotate approximately 360 degrees after every 400 -500 heart cycles, making the problem of leaflet orientation during valve implantation a thing of the past.

The high housing of the CardiaMed valve effectively protects its leaflets from surrounding structures as well as from pannus ingrowth into the valve orifice. Such valve design allows for safer and easier implantation.
