Leading the way to a lasting repair




Clinically proven for predictable results

From the innovative leader in valvular reconstruction comes the first 3D tricuspid-specific ring. With its unique features and clinically proven efficacy, the Edwards MC3 Tricuspid ring delivers a lasting repair with predictable results.

Clinically proven design
  • More than 50,000 patient-years of experience worldwide.
  • 3D shape mimics the tricuspid annulus, corresponds to the anatomical contour.
  • Incomplete ring avoids the sensitive conduction system anatomy.
  • Rigid ring for remodeling the tricuspid annulus.
  • Downward angle in the septal region to help reduce the stress on sutures and the risk of ring dehiscence.

Predictable results
  • Multiple peer reviewed studies demonstrate sustained freedom from recurrent TR (>2+) over time with the Edwards MC3 Tricuspid ring.1,2,3,5,6
  • Greater than 96% freedom from reoperation.2,3,4
