RESILIA tissue valve portfolio
A promise of freedom for patients and surgeons. That’s the power of RESILIA tissue. For patients, it means a life with the potential to avoid future open-heart surgery.* RESILIA tissue gives surgeons the freedom to offer a resilient tissue alternative that brings the quality-of-life benefits of tissue valves to patients.

Spotlight on RESILIA tissue
Tissue with a difference
Integrity Preservation technology incorporates a stable-capping feature, which permanently blocks residual aldehyde groups that are known to bind with calcium.*

A key challenge with pericardial tissue is structural valve deterioration (SVD), much of which is due to calcium buildup. RESILIA tissue is transformed to resist calcification differently. It offers enhanced anti-calcification technology that will potentially allow the valve to last longer than conventional bioprosthetic valves.*
Visit the RESILIA tissue pre-clinical and clinical data Inspiring Results page to learn about how the tissue is performing.
