KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit

KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit

Engineered for the bio-Bentall.

Down to every detail.*

KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit is the first and only pre-assembled, ready-to-implant† biological aortic valved conduit, built specifically for bio-Bentall procedures.

It combines the proven durability of RESILIA tissue technology with the predictable performance of the  Valsalva graft in a single, standardized system.1

*As compared to self-assembled aortic valved conduits and non-RESILIA tissue valves.

Single-cut release holder

One cut and the device is ready. No assembly steps to introduce variability or add OR time.1

Gelatin-infused Valsalva graft

The graft is sized +3mm above the valve to support natural positioning. It brings the proven performance of Valsalva graft technology into a standardized, integrated system.*5

Three commissure markers

Equally spaced commissure markers aid in orientation and alignment, taking the guesswork out of coronary re-attachment and helping ensure correct positioning every time.1

Tissue technology

RESILIA tissue is Edwards Lifesciences’ proprietary bovine pericardial tissue technology, engineered to address the primary mechanisms of long-term valve failure. 

DualFit sewing ring

The scalloped sewing ring conforms to the root and the wider haemostatic cuff seals it. Fewer extra steps, less added complexity.*1,6
