With its CarbomedicsTM line of products CORCYM offers Cardiac Surgeons and Patients a complete set of mechanical heart valve solutions to reliably treat even the challenging cases2
Since the first step, the Carbomedics portfolio has been enriched over time up to the current, complete set of solutions that offer Surgeons flexibility while treating their Patients
The Carbomedics name is intrinsically linked to the historical development of mechanical heart valves. Based on the expertise and with the clear mission of providing highly reliable and technologically advanced solutions, in 1986 Carbomedics introduced to the market a mechanical bileaflet valve with a rotatable housing for optimal leaflet positioning.
Thanks to its robust design, the Carbomedics bileaflet mechanical heart valve has extremely low incidence of post-operative structural failures* in over 1 million implants worldwide.
A robust design** to minimize post-operative structural failures.
Pyrolytic carbon coated leaflets
Pyrolytic carbon housing
Titanium stiffening band
*Based on Corcym post-market surveillance, structural valve failure is expected to occur between 0.1 and 1 times per 100000 device population.
**According to ISO 5840 CORCYM post-market surveillance and published experience on long term results (Bouchard et al., Ann Thorac Surg2014;97:816–23).
Carbomedics sewing cuffs are optimized for ease of implant and stable seating.
Most importantly, the Carbomedics sewing cuff is designed to gently conform to the tissue, thus minimizing the tension on sutures and consequently the risk of dehiscence.3
The broad variety of configurations was conceived to provide effective fit in any anatomical configuration.
A unique mitral prosthesis with versatile positioning to approach even challenging situations.4 Thanks to its flexible, generous symmetrical sewing cuff Optiform valve can conform to almost any annulus. Valve placement can be adjusted simply by varying suture entry and exit sites.
For atrial positioning (supra-annular), needle enters at bottom of cuff and exits at midline
For intra-annular positioning, needle enters at bottom of cuff and exits at top of cuff
For sub-annular positioning, needle enters at midline of cuff and exits at top of cuff
The opening angle and travel arc of the Carbomedics valves’ leaflets are determined by hydrodynamic testing in order to achieve low pressure gradients and an optimal balance between forward flow and regurgitant volume, thus minimizing total energy loss while promoting quiet functioning.
