Carpentier-Edwards Physio Tricuspid annuloplasty ring

Invented by Alain F. Carpentier, MD, PhD

Precise design. Built-in confidence.

• Designed with selective flexibility to help preserve natural annular movement while facilitating remodeling of the tricuspid annulus
• 3D waveform shape to restore the tricuspid annulus to a systolic position¹
• Precise design increases the septal segment opening, avoiding the conduction system and sensitive anatomy^*

• Distinct sewing ledge facilitates intuitive suture placement and easy suture pass through^*
• Anatomic reference markers aid in confident ring placement and alignment
• Low profile sewing cuff reduces needle penetrating and sliding forces during implantation^*
• Angled holder design with windows enables direct surgical line of sight to the tricuspid valve

* In comparison to the Carpentier-Edwards Classic Tricuspid ring. Data on file.

Edwards MC3 Tricuspid annuloplasty ring

The world’s first 3D tricuspid specific ring

• Rigid ring for remodeling the tricuspid annulus
• Constructed of titanium alloy
• 3D shape mimics the tricuspid annulus, corresponds to the anatomical contour
• Incomplete ring to avoid the sensitive conduction system anatomy
• Corrects annular dilatation, increases leaflet coaptation, reinforces annular suture lines, and prevents further dilatation of the annulus
• Downward angle in the septal region to help reduce the stress on sutures and the risk of ring dehiscence
