Carpentier-Edwards Physio Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring

Invented by Alain F. Carpentier, MD, PhD

Precise Design. Built-in Confidence.

Confidently restore tricuspid function

Designed with Selective Flexibility to help preserve natural annular movement while facilitating remodeling of the tricuspid annulus7
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 anatomy2

Ease for every implant

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 penetration and sliding forces during implantation2
Angled holder design with windows enables direct surgical line of sight to the tricuspid valve

The Physio commitment:

Backed by the confidence of over 250,000 patient years of experience, the Physio commitment of a remodeling annuloplasty with Selective Flexibility extends the promise of meaningful innovation for both the mitral and tricuspid valves.3-9
