KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit

KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit

Ready when you are

Stored dry and ready to use, KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit removes the assembly step entirely. Ready for implant, straight from the box.

Ready when you are

Pre-assembled precision

The valve and graft are engineered together, not sutured together at the table.1

~200 sutures

It’s assembled with nearly 200 sutures,
securing a strong, reliable connection
between the valve and graft.**

**Used to assemble the graft to the valve stent.

Carefully crafted

Each conduit requires 5-7 operators and 8 hours to assemble, inspect, and package before it ever reaches the OR.

Operative efficiency

Operative efficiency

Isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) sets the benchmark for operative efficiency, but when root reconstruction is required, the bio-Bentall procedure adds an average of 50 minutes of additional cross-clamp time. KONECT aortic valved conduit’s pre-assembled configuration helps minimize cross-clamp time* by removing the assembly step from the cross-clamp period entirely.1

*As compared to self-assembled valved conduits.

115.0 minutes median

median overall cross-clamp time2

123.5 minutes median

median isolated root cross-clamp time2

Techniques that reduce cross-clamp duration have been associated with fewer complications1, shorter hospital stays, and lower overall healthcare costs3
