Carpentier-Edwards Duraflex Low-Pressure Bioprosthesis Edwards Lifesciences’ porcine valves combine rigorous tissue selection, proven fixation technology and advanced manufacturing components that have set the industry standard. Available with an extended sewing ring, these valves are easier to implant when a larger suture surface is required. Our Duraflex valves feature: New Patented Edwards XenoLogiX Treatment – Significantly reduced calcification in rat and sheep implant studies.1, 2 * Low-pressure Fixation Technology – The Edwards process that has set the industry standard. – Minimizes alterations in collagen waveform and increases leaflet compliance. Specialized Construction – Asymmetric stent conforms to the natural porcine valve geometry. – Minimizing muscle shelf by sewing into the stent wall, prevents obstruction of the orifice. Extended Sewing Ring – Available for larger suture surfaces. Elgiloy Stent – Flexible material minimizes tissue stress. – Superior spring efficiency reduces creep. *No clinical data are available which evaluate the long-term impact of the XenoLogiX treatment in patients.
