Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease aortic valve


The Magna Aortic Ease Valve is a third generation bioprosthetic valve developed by Edwards Lifesciences1,2. It is built upon the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT bioprosthetic design and is part of the proven family of PERIMOUNT surgical valves1. The Magna Aortic Ease valve combines a tested design with the benefits of pericardial tissue to deliver the potential for on-going durability1. The valve is mounted on a flexible cobalt-chromium alloy stent that absorbs energy to reduce leaflet stress1. The three independent bovine pericardial leaflets are matched for thickness and elasticity to optimize stress distribution1. The valve has demonstrated excellent durability after the equivalent of 25 years in simulated in vitro wear, with hydrodynamic performance like that of a new valve1. The Magna Aortic Ease valve offers many key design features that enhance the valve’s ease of implant1. The valve is intended for use in patients whose aortic valvular disease is sufficiently advanced to warrant replacement of their natural valve with a prosthetic one1.

Enhancing Healthcare Worker Safety: Exploring Ansell's Revolutionary ART Technology In the realm of healthcare, ensuring the safety of healthcare workers (HCWs) is paramount. One crucial aspect of this safety is the protection provided by surgical gloves. However, despite their vital role, issues like glove tears pose significant risks to HCWs, potentially exposing them to bloodborne pathogens. Enter ART (Advanced Rheology Technology), a game-changing innovation in glove manufacturing brought to you by Ansell. What is ART Technology? ART stands for Advanced Rheology Technology, a cutting-edge process integrated into the manufacturing line of surgical gloves by Ansell. At its core, ART is a Pinhole barrier Technology, specifically designed to eliminate potential defects that may result in pinholes, which can lead to glove tears. How does ART Technology work? Ansell employs ART by adding a uniform layer over the glove former during manufacturing. This process creates a smooth finish ...

  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.
