  Perimount Mitral Tricentrix system, a patented holder system that facilitates the implantation of the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Plus mitral pericardial valve. The Perimount mitral valve is a bioprosthetic valve that offers superior durability and hemodynamics compared to other valve technologies. The Tricentrix system allows the valve to be easily positioned and deployed into the native valve opening, with improved visualization and operating space for the surgeon. The video is intended for educational purposes for OT scrub nurses and cardiac surgeons who are interested in learning more about the Perimount mitral valve and the Tricentrix system.

Edwards Lifesciences is a global leader in medical technology that specializes in cardiovascular and critical care products. One of its products is the Femoral Cannula, which is a tube that is inserted into the femoral artery or vein during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The Femoral Cannula is designed to deliver oxygenated blood to the body or to drain blood from the body during surgery. Edwards Lifesciences offers different types of Femoral Cannulae, such as the Fem-Flex II, the Endo Return, and the Femoral Venous Cannulae. Each type has its own features, specifications, and indications. Some of the benefits of using Edwards Lifesciences Femoral Cannulae are: They have ultra-thin wall technology that helps minimize kinking and maximize flow rates They have wire-reinforced sections that provide kink resistance and flexibility They have tapered tips and smooth transitions that facilitate insertion and advancement into the femoral vessel They have hemostasis valves that allow the pa...

Functional tests are a way to check that an instrument is operating correctly. They should be performed consistently to ensure that instruments with excessive wear or damage are removed from service.

The Carpentier-Edwards Physio-Annuloplasty Ring is intended for the correction of mitral valve insufficiency, or mixed mitral insufficiency and stenosis, where treatment does not necessitate a replacement of the natural mitral valve The Carpentier-Edwards Physio-Annuloplasty Ring stands as a crucial medical innovation designed to address specific cardiac conditions, namely mitral valve insufficiency or mixed mitral insufficiency and stenosis. This advanced medical device is a testament to the continuous evolution of medical technology, particularly in the field of cardiology.
